The only thing that's not there (I've been told) is tail recursion, but for the rest the FP capabilities are quite complete ... but yes you can do imperative & "mutable" too. But the nice thing is that Rust gives you all the tools to do "safe" and "correct" programming, I was amazed at what the compiler can do (as a result the compiler is still noticeably slower than Golang's ...)
