Any two languages can be compared. The notion that the act of comparing two languages can be traced to one particular root cause (such as the use of the word "systems" N years ago) is ludicrous to me. What matters is the analysis that is involved in that comparison. For example, I'd find the answer to this question very interesting: "Compare and contrast concurrency in Rust and Go." I contend that the answer to this question is epic. It will take you back through the history of PL and lots of really interesting design decisions. At the forefront: should concurrency be a first class part of the language? Or should it be part of a library? And that's just one interesting question. There are plenty more.
