The irony of this meme being posted from a platform written in rust is pretty great ngl
I like how this takes familiarity with the original xkcd comic as a given.
Knowledge of the sacred texts is required for enlightenment.
The comic is now a mainstream meme, isn’t it?
I think half of Lemmy knows most of XKCD
I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.
Over the last one or two years I feel like Rust haters have gotten even louder than the Rust evangelists. For every person who declares “Rewrite it in Rust!” I see two or three people saying how they hate Rust or how pointless it is and so on.
I am convinced Rust haters are simply refusing to learn something new, consciously or not.
I don’t like rust because I’m too stupid to understand it
Yeah, this whole meme just looks like ‘I hate Rust and don’t want it anywhere’
Of course, there is importance in trying it everywhere, because it shows where the language and ecosystem lacks and can evolve; but beside that, I think adoption by big companies wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t any good as some want to believe
The Lemmy backend is also written in rust
Here, FTFY:
Hey now, about 1% of the Linux kernel is Rust now!
Which 1%?
Haskell is somewhere far away off screen
Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I’m finding it difficulty to understand the point it’s trying to make.
Where is Visual Basic in this diagram? Does nobody enhance blurry license plate pics any more?

enhance!
Be careful, a Rust Dev will accuse you of FUDposting! They might even try to collect evidence on you for being “a terrible person”, then sending their followers after you, then individually contact all your publicly known friends about it!

Needs that plucky mrust project holding up rust
