Knowing a good bit of Rust helped me considerably, due to the commonalities of being expression-based, pattern matching and sum-types. F# almost feels like a more functional and GC'd Rust.

F# is heavily based on OCaml and Rust was heavily inspired by the ML family of languages, and I've often heard it described as an ML without GC and with memory management and a C++ style syntax.
You're noticing a very real relationship.
