They both compile to machine code? People get bent around the wheel all the time with the tiny niches but both seem well equipped for writing user land applications and are designed to be safer than C and it's cousins. Both have some legitimate interest in them which is what really differentiates them from like D or Ada. Neither is going to be used for kernels (maybe I should say 'serious kernels') and drivers any time really soon. They have a lot of similarity in those regards. Seems like a golden era to have 2 competing languages that are aiming at C and C++ and have legitimate community interest.
