If somebody announces that their project is written in Rust but nobody complains, what happens?

Writing any non-trivial video game with Rust is (arguably) interesting in itself since developer velocity in gamedev is generally considered paramount, and Rust has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for hindering velocity.

So yes, the fact that this is written in Rust is actually relevant and valuable. As opposed to your hollow snark.

Now, OP: tell us more about how that's played out for you.
