It would be pretty silly to say "I created a library" and conspicuously omit the language it's written for.

Hi - this contribution is a Rust crate. I've done the same for Python. In this case, I think distinguishing the post with the language makes sense!

I think more to the point is there anything particularly novel about other than the fact it's written in Rust?

Since when is it a meme? And what do you mean that it's like the software has no useful feature?

What an awfully dismissive comment.

Sorry, I also must detract from the point of the post, but I feel there is merit in a small rant.

I made a crate, reminds me of the I made a gem days. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels pretentious. And I even know what crates and gems are. I can't imagine how someone who doesn't know the lingo looks at it. It's a library! I wrote a library that does blah blah. No one ever says I made a jar or I laid an egg...

I hadn't considered this to be an issue - this is new to me. I would use "package" for Python as I do "crate" for Rust. It is just the terminology used on the website https://crates.io/. For me, it also indicates that it's available through the repository.

No, you were absolutely right calling it crates. I will be the first to say, when in Rome be a Roman. I was more ranting at the community for eschewing existing terminology and inventing new one. Sorry, didn't mean to direct it towards you.

I personally like seeing the language. Though it definitely does seem to trigger people, with Rust specifically. Imo, avert your eyes.
