I wonder how popular posts on hackernews would be if people didn't mention "written in rust" in the title.

Probably significantly less, but I suspect "written in Rust" is part of what makes these posts interesting. People have an interest in what you can do with this language they're constantly hearing about (and hearing people rave about). There are lots of incredible languages that few people are using for real products. "Written in Rust" is therefore interesting on multiple axes.
Jumping on the hype bandwagon. Don't question it or you get downvoted... oops.
