The Stairway To Programming Heaven

Game devs staring longingly at the corporate jets flying by while their equally skilled counterparts cash six-figure checks. Nothing says "passion for the craft" like trading a decent salary for the privilege of implementing 37 different ragdoll physics systems that players will barely notice. But hey, at least you get to put "Created virtual horse testicles that shrink in cold weather" on your resume.

Academic literature with the precision of a drunk dartboard player. Highlighting "JavaScript (or Java)" as if they're interchangeable? Sure, and a bicycle is just a motorcycle without the engine. This is the same energy as saying "HTML is my favorite programming language" at a developer conference and watching the room collectively twitch. The relationship between Java and JavaScript is approximately the same as that between car and carpet - they share four letters and absolutely nothing else. Next chapter: "Python - a reptile that writes code."

This meme is a hilarious take on the Rust programming language's reputation in the developer community! At the top, we see a beautiful, thriving ecosystem with a C language logo sun shining brightly. Meanwhile, underground there's a dark cave where the Grim Reaper (representing memory safety issues) is filming people worshipping an angry crab with lightning bolts (the Rust mascot/logo). The title "isRustEvil" is playing on the joke that Rust enthusiasts are sometimes viewed as cult-like in their devotion to the language. While C sits above in the established programming world, Rust is portrayed as this underground movement with zealous followers. The meme pokes fun at how some developers view Rust advocates - as if they're part of some strange cult that worships memory safety and ownership principles while demonizing languages like C. The person trying to climb out represents developers trying to escape the "Rust evangelism strike force" that's always telling everyone to rewrite everything in Rust! It's a classic example of programming language tribalism taken to a hilarious extreme. Whether you're a Rust fan or skeptic, you've probably encountered the passionate debates about whether Rust should replace C/C++ in systems programming.
