I'm not sure "In Rust" serve any marketing value. A product's success rarely has to do with the use of a programming language, if not at all. I understand the arguments made by Paul Graham on the effectiveness of programming languages, but specifically for a workflow manager, a user like me cares literally zero about which programming language the workflow system uses even if I have to hack into the internal of the system, and latency really matters a lot less than throughput.

Having spent a lot of time recently writing Rust it's a major negative for me. It's a terrible language for concurrency and transitive dependencies can cause panics which you often can't recover from. Which means the entire ecosystem is like sitting on old dynamite waiting to explode. JVM really has proven itself to be by far the best choice for high-concurrency, back-end applications.

You are free to ignore it. Personally I like to see new projects be made in Rust, because it means they're easier to contribute to than projects in other unmanaged non-GC languages.
