From the little I know of OCaml, Rust isn't really in the same category. While it has functional elements, it's really aimed at being a cleaner C++ (for instance, it doesn't have TCO).

Rust was originally implemented in OCaml, though. You're correct theyre not exactly in the same category, but there is influence there.

OCaml is a popular tool for implementing languages, IIRC the javascript referecence standard was implemented in ocaml as well.
