I think if you want to compete with Rust, C or Zig you want to have a rich standard library. I still hold that Go's success is attributed to the fact that you could build a web application out of the box, minus database drivers. The templating and web server is purely built in to Go itself.

I don't have to waste time evaluating web frameworks I can just start coding a website with net/http right away. Oh its production ready!? Amazing!

I do wish Go had more things built-in like email and other protocols.

If I were maintaining or creating a systems language, I'd invest in the standard library being powerful out of the box. I really secretly wish Rust / D had a web server baked in sometimes.

All things said, this is the first I've heard of Hare, and it looks nice to me from what little I've looked at.
