Rust here is the main language of the repository. Rust compiles to native code, so software in this group usually ships as a single binary or as a native package installed through npm, and users never touch Rust. Several web build and lint tools are written in Rust and configured from JavaScript. A record carries this value when Rust makes up most of the codebase. Meilisearch and Biome are examples.
34 projects are written in Rust, listed alphabetically. Mostly build tools, databases and caches and web frameworks, of 12 categories in all. 38 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way. Counts only projects with momentum; the full list has the rest.

What is the best web software written in Rust?
We can't tell from here. What suits an editor-heavy marketing site can be wrong for a static documentation site. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it.
