Why does almost every project written in rust have "written in rust" advertised in the title/description?



Because people are interested in how technology is built, and if they’re interested in rust they might be interested in seeing how it’s used in other projects


sure that "being written in C" or in "PHP" would have gathered far less interest


A GameBoy emulator written in PHP would certainly piqued my interest, but more like a morbid curiosity than anything else. :)


because rust is screaming bleeding edge
