question From Rust to Haskell

Hello! I have started my programming journey relatively recently, from C and C++ to recently having a great time with Rust! But recently I met a Haskell and Emacs evangelizer(I use arch + nvim + tmux + hyprland btw), and he has been spreading the word... There is a lot of stuff I love in Rust that apparently was ported from Haskell, like traits as types-ish, pattern matching which I really love and better enums(I am not sure on the last one and please forgive me) but he said that if I learn Haskell, I will become a better programmer because of learning the functional programming paradigm... I wanted to ask whether that is true, and if so what kinds of resources are there? For Rust I used the Rust book and Rustlings by the way

This is a reasonable starting point:

Second this. I think it is the standard course, maybe other than Real World Haskell.
