No I Dont Want To Use Rust

The expectation vs reality of AI coding assistants in a nutshell. Everyone's hyping different AI models, but they're all just regurgitating the same Stack Overflow answers and GitHub repos with slightly different syntax highlighting. Notice how all four implementations have identical logic? That's because no matter which AI overlord you pledge allegiance to, they've all been trained on the same Rust code snippets. It's like four college students copying the same homework but changing the font to avoid detection. The real innovation here is how many different ways they can add comments to the same algorithm while making you feel like you're getting unique, cutting-edge assistance. Revolutionary stuff.

In Rust, you have to explicitly mark code as unsafe when you're about to do something that might summon demons from the ninth circle of memory hell. Meanwhile in C++, the entire language is basically one giant unsafe block where dangling pointers and buffer overflows are just part of the authentic experience. It's like driving a car with no seatbelts, airbags, or brakes—but hey, at least it's fast! The irony is that in C++, the unsafe part is invisible—it's just assumed you enjoy living dangerously. Rust at least has the courtesy to make you type out "I know what I'm doing" before it lets you shoot yourself in the foot.

The endless cycle of programmer self-loathing continues! At 15, you're a Java hotshot thinking you're God's gift to computing. By 20, you've "evolved" to Python while cringing at your Java days. Then at 30, you're wielding C++ and Rust, looking back at your Python self with pure embarrassment. And the cycle continues... Future you is already facepalming at current you's tech choices. It's like each programming language is just another awkward yearbook photo waiting to happen.

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.

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.

HONEY, SWEETIE, DARLING! The absolute AUDACITY of claiming English is the most powerful language while Rust developers are literally having existential crises trying to appease the almighty borrow checker! 💅 English might get you a coffee at Starbucks, but Rust prevents entire categories of memory errors and makes your code practically bulletproof! The programming language equivalent of having bodyguards, a security system, AND a moat with alligators! Meanwhile, English can't even decide if "read" is pronounced "reed" or "red" without context! THE DRAMA!
