Thanks for your extremely useful sarcastic comment. Maybe the author just wanted to play with the language and share their knowledge through a cool open-source tool. Maybe it's just the best language for the job.

yes but they do have a point. 'Written in Rust' adds nothing to the tool itself.

Edit: I see now. Thanks

Aren't many of us programmers? Don't we gain something from reading source code in languages we might be interested in using?

It does actually a lot - I know that when I contribute to this project I have a much lower probability of shooting myself in the foot compared to most of the other languages

We are craftspeople. Of course we care about how tools are made. Else we'd be at ProductHunt.
