Haskell controls mutable data by pervasive immutability.

Rust controls mutable data by the borrow checker system: allow sharing OR mutation but not both at the same time.

I get what GP is implying. The way you program (and think) is entirely different if you are working with immutable data structures and functions versus safe mutability.
