One way of looking at Rust is that it is kinda at the intersection of three different language families: {Ruby,Python,JavaScript} x {C,C++} x {OCaml, Haskell, Scala}

“Needs” is a bit strong but “may find some things familiar and therefore easier” is a common refrain.

That makes more sense. I'd probably phrase it as: "if you are familiar with a lower-level language and a functional language, you'll likely have an easier time learning Rust".

Yup, I’d agree with that.
