Written In Rust is great because Rust is one of those Fun And Shiny languages that people want to write in just to write in it, like Elixir or Node (topical!), except it's not going to pull an Electron and involve a giant VM and a bundle system that includes a user-mode Xbox controller driver by default, but rather is faster in its first draft than you could possibly squeeze out of one of those other languages. Rust captures the 'systems they don't teach you about in college' vibe without products written in it slightly decreasing the usability of the developer ecosystem.
