In what sense? I mean, he's not entering contests with it? (Forgive me for being dense.)

I dunno, I feel like he's been pretty up front about where Hare is different (not to say inferior) to other languages. (I should mention that I'm generally pro-ddevault even though I don't agree with everything he's into. (E.g. I'm not on the Graph DB bandwagon (yet?).)
FWIW, I see Hare as a fun toy (a toy that can do real work through, to be sure.) As long as it and the ecosystem around it can attract people to work/play with it then it doesn't need to compete. (Except in the general sense of competing for time and attention with everything else.)
