Why most of programmers of Rust and FP always sounds like a fucking cult?
Whenever you complain about something about their languages 68912 users appear out of blue to say that you didn't understand and attempt to convince you how amazing its language

Pure FP is like the "everything is an object" fanatisism Oracle tried to push with Java.
Regular FP seems pretty okay though. Racket seems like it let's you do just about anything you want.

Although I get why Haskell wants Pure FP. And, for theorem provers it makes a lot more sense.
Haskell's selling point is to be default lazy. This enforces pure FP and basically all of its other quirks. Laziness was popular in the programming language research community because it has a lot of fun properties.
But, I am surprised just as anyone that Haskell is sold as a general programming language. Resource constraints, and programmers that do not like the extra complexity and math are obvious problems for it.
