Free Energy: Harnessing The Rust-C++ Holy War

Rust evangelists: *screeching intensifies* when they discover 19.11% of Rust libraries use the unsafe keyword, while C++ sits smugly at the dinner table knowing it doesn't need to mark anything as unsafe because everything is potentially unsafe by default. It's like bragging about having 19.11% of your codebase labeled "might explode" while C++ just assumes you're smart enough to know the whole thing is a minefield. Memory safety theater at its finest!

A programmer's twist on the classic "what girls want" tweet! While the original tweet suggests girls want "commitment" (starts with C), our battle-scarred dev responds with the ultimate programmer dad joke: "Go and Rust are memory safer, but you do you." It's the perfect marriage of programming languages and dating humor. Sure, Go and Rust handle memory management safely, but C? That's living dangerously—manual memory allocation with no safety nets. Like dating someone who says "I don't believe in labels" on the first date. Segmentation faults in your code or your love life? Choose wisely.

Oh. My. GOD. The sheer ARISTOCRACY of C++ developers thinking that 100 nanoseconds is something to brag about! 💅 Honey, that's 0.0000001 seconds. You can't even BLINK that fast, yet here they are strutting around like Victorian nobility who just optimized the queen's favorite algorithm. The AUDACITY! Meanwhile, JavaScript developers are just happy if their website loads before the heat death of the universe. And Python folks? They're over in the corner eating cake with readable code that runs sometime this century. But C++ royalty must have their nanosecond optimization parties. *dramatic hair flip*

If programming languages were weapons of choice, this is what we'd all be carrying. C++ is basically that Swiss Army knife with 500 functions you'll never use but can't throw away. JavaScript? Those kitchen scissors that somehow cut everything except what you actually need them for. Python gets the chainsaw because it chops through problems with brute simplicity (until you hit a threading issue). Meanwhile, Assembly programmers are performing surgery with precision scalpels because they're controlling every single byte like the control freaks they are. And then there's Visual Basic... literally just a spoon. Not even a sharp spoon. The kind of tool you give to the intern who can't be trusted with anything dangerous. The real joke? We're all still getting paid to use these ridiculous tools to build things that somehow run the entire world. Sleep tight!

When your Windows kernel programming club accidentally creates a hex pun instead of a driver. That 0xDEE4 value is literally "DEE" followed by "4" in hex, while the variable names spell out "DEER deer; deer = *(DEER*)0xDEE4" – basically saying "they are dee-r-ly sorry" in code form. Every senior dev knows the real Windows driver development process involves 40% crying, 30% Stack Overflow, 20% whiskey, and 10% accidentally making dad jokes in your variable names that nobody will ever see... until they do.

Look at this absolute psychopath writing a function that masquerades as addition but secretly performs dark magic with buffer overflows. The evil genius is using array indexing on a static buffer with arbitrary inputs, dereferencing pointers, and then subtracting the buffer's address from the result. This isn't addition—it's a ticking time bomb disguised as math. The dramatic lighting and quill pen really sell it. Nothing says "I'm about to crash your entire system" like writing memory-corrupting C code by candlelight like some kind of deranged 18th-century villain. Somewhere a security engineer just felt a cold shiver down their spine.
