Gen Z Developers Brain Washed

The only relationship where getting errors is a sign of love. The Rust compiler might tell you that you're a complete failure who can't count parameters correctly, but at least it's consistent and helps you grow. Meanwhile, your toxic ex can't be tamed even with unsafe{} blocks. Both will make you cry at 2 AM, but only one actually cares about your memory safety.

Studying compilers: reading dragon books, understanding lexical analysis, parsing theory, optimization passes. Sounds sophisticated, right? Actually writing compilers: chugging Monster energy drinks at 3 AM while debugging segfaults in your hand-rolled parser, questioning every life choice that led you to implement register allocation by hand. The theoretical elegance meets the practical reality of infinite edge cases and cursed pointer arithmetic. Fun fact: The average compiler engineer consumes approximately 47% more caffeine than regular developers. The other 53% is pure spite directed at whoever invented left-recursive grammars.

Oh. My. God. The DESCENT into tech purity madness has never been so PERFECTLY captured! 💅 First, you're just an innocent Windows user. Then SUDDENLY you're putting on foundation and diving into Ubuntu because "Windows is bloat" (how dare it have a GUI that works, right?!). But honey, that's just the GATEWAY drug! Before you know it, you're applying full clown makeup and screaming about how even UBUNTU is too mainstream as you frantically install Arch like it's some kind of personality trait! The FINAL transformation? Full rainbow wig, declaring that EVERYTHING is garbage except your precious Rust, which you'll use to rewrite the calculator app that worked perfectly fine before you spent 6 months "optimizing" it. 🤡 The tech elitism to clown pipeline is REAL, people!

The C++ Olympic gold medalist celebrates victory in the first 5 panels, only to get absolutely destroyed by Rust in the final frame. Classic story of our industry - spend decades mastering pointer arithmetic and manual memory management, then some new language comes along with a borrow checker and suddenly you're obsolete. C++17 promised better memory safety features, but let's be honest - it's like putting a band-aid on a chainsaw wound. Meanwhile Rust sits on the podium smugly preventing segfaults at compile time while every other garbage-collected language watches from second place. Ten years of debugging dangling pointers and suddenly I'm supposed to learn ownership semantics? Fine, I'll update my resume.

The programming language rivalry reaches Marvel-level intensity! C++ developers reacting to Rust like Iron Man fighting Winter Soldier. Why? Because Rust is literally C++'s kryptonite—a memory-safe language designed to solve the exact problems that make C++ devs wake up in cold sweats at 3 AM. The double pun is *chef's kiss*: Rust the language is threatening C++'s dominance while actual rust (oxidized iron) threatens metal. No wonder they're throwing punches—their entire identity is under attack!

The Rust evangelism strike force claims another victim! Some poor soul dared to mention they're still using C/C++ in 2022, and now they're being lectured about Rust's memory safety features while their friends slowly back away. Classic language elitism in its natural habitat – because nothing says "I'm a modern developer" like making others feel bad about their tech stack choices. Meanwhile, the C++ devs are too busy fighting memory leaks to defend themselves.
