I feel like 70% of open source projects on GitHub say written in the language that they were written in

I feel like the likelihood that a project will say what language it is written in is much higher if that language is Rust. I like Rust but I do find this trend a little annoying. (Even though I acknowledge that "written in Rust" probably means the tool is relatively new, not buggy, and easy to use.)

I genuinely chose the language for one of my projects based on this reasoning. I want to be in the nice UX gang.
