So per your rationale, why not listing in the title other pertinent information about the project?

I am saying that because the programming language is not what defines a project. It could be a pile of junk even if it written in the greatest language ever made.

Sometimes people do, they say "Django" instead of "in Python using Django" which I think is fine. People who know Python will take the hint.

So many wonderful things were written in assembly or PHP (assuming you rate PHP and assembly on the other end of the spectrum of awesomeness.)

The ratio of garbage to awesome is relevant not individual examples
