> I checked https://www.rust-lang.org/ and did not see a comparison to other programming languages. A similar thing with https://ziglang.org/

Zig does actually have this page: https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/

Similarly, Rust does (or did, this is the old site's FAQ) talk about differences with C and C++: https://prev.rust-lang.org/en-US/faq.html#other-languages

The current Rust book has a tacit comparison to other languages [0]. I can't say that I found this blog post more amusing than cheeky; but I also can't say whether Hare's positioning isn't advertised well, or if this is surreptitiously great advertising.

If I'm not mistaken, this is an April Fool's joke :)

Judging from the dateline, it's a May 3rd joke.
