I find it interesting that every single piece of software that was ever written in Rust always mentions that very proudly in its title. It's not something I see often with other programming languages (most software is just software and doesn't necessarily advertise the language it was built with). I do not know anything about Rust, so I'm just curious, does this confer a kind of underlying trustworthiness or quality to the application?

I wait for the day when someone adds "Written in COBOL" to their HN project title.

Also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23189918 Not literally "in Cobol" in the title, but almost. And in both cases the primary novelty is that it's written in Cobol.
