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?

Search HN stories for "written in", sort by date, and in the past couple weeks there are of course a number of "written in rust" but also c, python, ruby, go, c++, lisp, java, javascript, flutter, crystal, and react. Rust has the most instances currently but it's also common enough here with other languages.

This is interesting and clearly a true claim, but anecdotally I feel like the combination of 1) lands on HN homepage and 2) includes "written in" in the title is heavily biased towards Rust. I don't know how to search for those two qualifiers to prove or disapprove my feelings though.
