> "iroh is a modular networking stack written in Rust. You can omit the "written in Rust" part, but then you'd lose street cred.

  It's not for street cred, it's what makes it usable everywhere: Rust, JavaScript (server or browser), Python, Kotlin, Swift, C. Written in JavaScript or Python means limited use, Kotlin or Swift means it could be tricky outside their main platforms, C means worrying about potential vulnerabilities and core dumps. I.e. "written in Rust" is definitely relevant here.

      Of course not, but the probability is significantly higher in a language full of memory footguns.
