> was there a point in time where “written in C++” was a similar “selling point”? no > using it to get clicks when Rust specifically over another native language doesn’t make a difference feels a bit clickbaity. - every single article mentioning rust in any way has this complaint in the comments - I think that much of the reason people mention it is not a cynical ploy for clicks (though that exists for sure), but denotes that the program is a modern program that is likely to work in a certain way? It's hard to specify what that way is, I should try and write something about it, but I think people who complain about this are missing that it's kind of a cultural signifier more than a literal statement about the language it's written in.
