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?

Promotional PR tactics benefit programmers of non-mainstream languages by raising awareness, interest, the labor market, and hopefully professional jobs working on the particular technology.
