And They Lived Happily Ever After

Ah, the classic "C/C++ is dead" narrative that's been circulating since approximately the Jurassic period. This meme perfectly captures the eternal resilience of C/C++ despite countless obituaries written by trendy language evangelists. Every few years, some shiny new language comes along promising to be the "C++ killer" - yet there's C/C++, smugly posing next to its own grave, refusing to die. Meanwhile, critical infrastructure, operating systems, game engines, and performance-critical applications are still running on these supposedly "ancient" languages. The smirk says it all: "Nice try, Rust/Go/whatever... I've been declared dead more times than a soap opera villain, and I'm still powering the world while you're trying to figure out your package manager."

Ah yes, the entire digital world balanced precariously on a tiny Rust component. The tower of technical debt we've built would make the Tower of Babel look structurally sound. One small memory-safe language holding up billions in infrastructure and preventing the whole stack from imploding. No pressure. Just another day where we're all one misplaced semicolon away from digital armageddon. But hey, at least it's memory-safe.

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.

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.

OMG, someone actually created a programming language to write code for Scratch - you know, that block-based programming tool designed for CHILDREN! 💀 The absolute AUDACITY of creating a text-based compiler with Rust that outputs to Scratch! It's like building a rocket ship to drive to your mailbox! They even had the nerve to add GitHub Copilot support and error detection like it's some kind of serious development environment! Just look at that gorgeous code at the bottom - writing actual text to generate those cute little colorful blocks with the cat mascot. It's the programming equivalent of using a sledgehammer to hang a picture frame! I'm DYING! 😭

STOP EVERYTHING! The Rust evangelists have struck again! 🚨 You haven't even fixed your CSS bugs, but suddenly you're possessed with the BURNING DESIRE to rewrite LITERALLY EVERYTHING in Rust because memory safety is your personality now. Who cares if your project works fine? That ancient C codebase powering the internet for decades? Trash it! Your perfectly functional Python API? GARBAGE! The compiler errors will cleanse your soul as you sacrifice months of productivity at the altar of zero-cost abstractions! It's not a programming language, it's a LIFESTYLE CHOICE!
