Agree 100% on the benefits of Rust generally, and the overall quality of the new breed of tooling that's being developed. I too strongly prefer things make in Rust.
That said, I still think "RustDesk" comes off kind of cheesy here. I think mostly because it's not a one-off utility where using Rust would be a primary factor, but it's high level enough that highlighting the implementation language so prominently comes off a little funny. Like you couldn't differentiate the product enough on its own so you had to highlight the language you used?
I will have a look at it, but in this example that's a very mild initial turnoff for me. I must be spoiled to be so picky!
Edit: after poking around a bit more, this looks pretty interesting. The intro "Yet another remote desktop software" would indicate that there's a lot of options out there, and they are trying to differentiate themselves. Maybe highlighting Rust in this case _is_ actually an important signifier of a stronger dedication to writing a lean application (I'll find out soon!). I'll retract some of my knee-jerk uninformed hesitance above.
