If the language is relevant to the innovation then I think it's fine to mention it. For example, a font renderer in Rust that is faster than FreeType[1]. There is also Servo[2], which is a web rendering engine that will be able to eliminate memory corruption bugs. For other projects (like this one) I find that the language can be a distraction from the actual value it provides.
