It mentions rust 3 times on a very very long landing page, and once is in a list of languages it has bindings for. That's really not "the number of times" your comment implies. It is worth mentioning in my opinion mostly because that you should care that it isn't written in - C/C++, because of security concerns - Java/Scala/<JVM family> because embedding these languages (and this is available as an embedded database) is a pain, also because of common (though not inevitable) memory bloat. - Python/Ruby/..., because of common performance issues (DBs being performance sensitive software) Obviously there is perfectly good software written in all those languages, and terrible software written in rust. The the odds of it being good however are substantially increased when you find out it's written in rust because for this domain, out of the common programming languages, rust really does have the best set of tradeoffs. A landing pages goal is to give you as many signals that "this software might be worthwhile" as possible, and being written in Rust (or really not being written in pretty much every other common programming language) signals that right now.
