An argument that I didn't see mentioned: when I see "search engine", I immediately think of ElasticSearch, which is Java, which requires a JVM.
Knowing Meilisearch is written in Rust makes me confident I can probably just run `./meilisearch` and get something working. I can also guess it'll be more resource efficient (CPU, memory) than ElasticSearch. I also *hate* ElasticSearch developer experience, and have had extremely good DX with Rust tools, so I can guess maybe their query language is saner. Maybe all this is wrong, but this is what I'm feeling when I see "written in Rust". So yeah, writing it conveys some meaning.
