C Is Weird Too

The eternal rivalry between C/C++ and Rust depicted in its purest form! Two programming languages locked in mortal combat, each convinced the other is the spawn of Satan. C++ devs clutching their manual memory management like it's a security blanket while Rust zealots wave their borrow checker flags from their moral high ground. The compiler wars continue as memory safety fundamentalists and performance purists scream into the void. Meanwhile, Python developers are just chilling with their garbage collector, eating popcorn and watching the bloodbath.

That sweet, sweet whisper of "0 warnings, 0 errors" from the compiler is basically foreplay for developers. The sheer ecstasy of code that compiles perfectly on the first try is so rare that when it happens, it literally gives us physical goosebumps. It's that magical moment when you've written 500 lines of code and somehow didn't mess up a single semicolon, bracket, or variable name. Pure. Developer. Bliss.

The top panel shows the Rust experience: find a library on crates.io, run one command, import it, and you're done. The stick figure even has their arms outstretched in celebration. Meanwhile, C++ is depicted as the ninth circle of dependency hell. Finding libraries across random websites, manually downloading tar files, and engaging in ritual combat with CMake until your build inevitably fails. The stick figures are literally hanging themselves in despair. And this is why some of us drink heavily before attempting to add external libraries to C++ projects.

Ah, memory management... where C++ developers play Russian roulette with pointers while Rust programmers smugly watch from behind their compiler-enforced safety barriers. The "change my mind" format perfectly captures that stubborn C++ veteran who's spent 20 years mastering the dark arts of manual memory management and would rather die on that hill than admit Rust might have actually solved some problems. "I don't need safety features, I need SPEED!" they cry, while frantically debugging their 17th segmentation fault of the day.

The first part of this authentication function is actually doing its job—checking if the password matches. But then comes the security masterpiece: if (true == true) . Congratulations, you've created the digital equivalent of a bouncer who checks your ID and then lets you in anyway because "yep, gravity still works!" This function will authenticate literally anyone who gets past the first check... or fails it and just keeps trying. Security experts hate this one weird trick!

When HTML sneaks into your programming language meeting and tries to act like it belongs. The bread loaves represent actual programming languages with compilers and interpreters, while HTML is just markup sitting there like "yes fellow programming languages, I too execute code." The cat's face says it all—pure impostor syndrome. No wonder it's called "Amung Us"—HTML is the sus one trying to blend in with the real programming crew!
