What Can You Say When Speed Costs 990 Lines

What Can You Say When Speed Costs 990 Lines
Ah, the classic C++ vs Python showdown. Your friend spent weeks crafting 1000 lines of pointer arithmetic, memory management, and template metaprogramming to shave off those precious microseconds, then drags you into their cave to show off their benchmark results like they've discovered fire. Meanwhile, your 10-line Python script just quietly gets the job done while you were out having a life. Sure, their code runs 100x faster, but yours was written 100x faster. The real question is: who's got time to maintain those 990 extra lines when the deadline's on Friday?

No God Please No Not The Semicolon

No God Please No Not The Semicolon
Python developers living their best life without semicolons until that one coworker pushes a PEP8-violating monstrosity into the codebase. The sheer horror on Ron's face captures that moment when you're happily writing clean Python and suddenly encounter a line ending with an unnecessary semicolon. It's like finding pineapple on your code pizza - technically allowed but why would you do that to something beautiful?

Rust Semicolons Are Different
In Rust, semicolons aren't just punctuation—they're existential decisions. The language is notorious for treating expressions without semicolons as return values, while statements with semicolons return nothing. So that "missing semicolon" isn't missing at all—it's an "excess" one that turned your perfectly functional code into a void of nothingness. Four hours of debugging later, you realize you've been therapy-couch worthy all along.
