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 find it interesting that every single post which has "written in Rust" also has someone in the comments asking why every single Rust project advertises it was written in Rust.

Maybe people are sick of promisses.

It is like talking about your car and saying that it is made of titanium and copper and composite materials while not saying anything about actual features (mileage, safety equipment).
