There's a hugely popular video game called Rust not written in Rust.

In fairness, many language/framework communities often have project names that are related or tongue in cheek, and not just to advertise that its x language; Python comes to mind

This is cope. Functionally nobody remembers enough high school chemistry to remember what a redox reaction is, let alone associate that with Rust, and such a naming convention is hardly worthy of the petulant dismissal expressed by the original comment.

And while we're on the topic, more Rust projects on the HN front page that don't mention Rust in the past day were Typst and the Cloudflare thing. Turns out, there's just a ton of good Rust projects out there, to the surprise of clueless HN commenters.
