Probably not. There's been a lot of work put into Haskell design, and a lot of work put into Rust design.
A stand-out difference is that Rust put a lot of work into the borrow checker. But if a borrow checker is irrelevant (i.e. GC is fast/small enough), there isn't a huge reason.
(To be clear, there are a number of differences, e.g. strict vs. lazy evaluation, but whether one is better than another is debatable.)
