Neither are "highly popular". Haskell's web stack is not particularly fast, in spite of the fact that it is possible to get good performance from the language.

Is "faster than Nginx" fast enough for you?

In case somebody brings it up, the Techempower benchmark results for Haskell (GHC) are broken, they use an ancient (7.4) version of GHC. The paper linked uses the current (7.8.2) version.

Both Haskell and Scala are more popular than Rust right now. Scala is actually on its way to become a mainstream language (http://sogrady-media.redmonk.com/sogrady/files/2014/01/lang-...), followed quite closely by Haskell.
