I'm a fan of Rust, but I think you must be reading a different HN if you don't think the Rust community focuses on comparing it to C and C++. The Go language creators have specifically stated that they created Go to solve problems they had with C and C++: http://web.stanford.edu/class/ee380/Abstracts/100428.html

I don't think "focuses on comparing it to C" is the right phrasing, but being a drop-in replacement for C is certainly a killer feature.
