Rust gets large amounts of inspiration from perl so don't forget that one.

Wikipedia quotes Ruby as an influence, but not Perl, citing this source: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

Still, Perl might have influenced Rust via Ruby. Otherwise, do you have a reference for Perl's direct influence on Rust?
