What I mean is that you can only maybe compare them in a vacuum. For a concrete given task, "is Clojure or Rust better" rarely comes up because there is little overlap in application domains. For instance, one domain where Clojure shines is for complex web apps, as your frontend and backend are in the same language, and can be tightly integrated. I believe dustingetz is working on taking this to the next level.
