I don't think they make or break a language for 99% of the developers.

You can get 90% there without HKT and a similar developer experience.

Current rust has some implementations which are simil-functors and simil-monads.

This is just polishing the language by lifting a restriction.

Not really though. Unless similar developer experience means you suffer like hell and still have to deal with runtime errors and worse performance.
