Is there any reason why a prompt is written in rust?

(e.g. AWS, Git, Python, Status). https://starship.rs/config/ https://starship.rs/config/ > Is there any reason why a prompt is written in rust? The prompt program supports a bunch of different shells. I imagine that's going to be easier to maintain in Rust than in bash.
