The "written in X" is a very popular[1] type of post for the HN audience because it usually points to source code like github/sourceforge. Your annoyance about it is puzzling and out of place. It's as if a commenter complains on a photography forum about a post titled "Paris Eiffel Tower taken with Canon 35mm lens"; the "Canon 35mm lens" is part of what makes the post interesting to potential readers of that particular community.
