If you can write programs without garbage collection, why should you use it? Because using it makes your life easier?

To me, Rust is easier to use than both Go and Haskell. Regarding Go, I don't like its inexpressiveness.

Regarding Haskell, I'm tired of its various aspects like

1. Insane defaults. `String` being `[Char]`, `-Wall` is almost always necessary, no record types, `import` imports all names by default, etc. Haskell is clearly showing its age.

2. Lazy evaluation. Not only does it complicate inspecting what's going on, but also it leads to memory bloat. Don't say you can manage it easily. I had tried that.

3. No stack trace. No, enabling profiling won't help, because thanks to lazy evaluation the exact location of the error will not be given to you.

So, to me, Rust feels like a "saner Haskell". Having a trait system similar to Haskell's type class, but without many of its warts.

That said, if there's a mainstream language that is more similar to Haskell but uses strict evaluation, I will definitely be sold. Idris is one of the contenders, but it isn't quite mainstream yet.
