All three have very similar syntax when compared even to something like Python or Ruby, let alone ML or Haskell. Seems like a spurious complaint.

I mean, Rust is quite a different category than C or Go, if this is the 3 languages you reference.

Rust has plenty of syntax coming straight from ML (okay, not straight, probably through OCaML)

Pattern matching, destructuring, expressions everywhere, etc are stuff that C/Go never even heard about.
