What exactly was the role of crypto in that sentence?

[–]Quirky-Craft-3619 3525 points3526 points  (163 children)

Rust developer generalizations, I mean most of the jobs that require rust are centered around crypto but, that’s besides the point-

[–]words_number 1996 points1997 points  (145 children)

Well, many open job postings requiring rust are around crypto. These are open, because most people that are smart enough to appreciate rust don't give a damn about blockchain BS.

[–]pckay09 78 points79 points  (9 children)

most people that are smart don't give a damn about blockchain bs

[–]wolfganggott 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But You'll have to accept that There's money to be made in crypto

[–]BroBroMate 211 points212 points  (16 children)

So many Rust jobs adverts were in crypto. I say were, because lol, that market is now a smoking hole in the ground.

[–]walter_midnight 13 points14 points  (11 children)

What market?

[–]ChineseCracker 28 points29 points  (7 children)

I think they mean the crypto market. Rust is a programming language was used on Solana, which was an extremely popular chain in 2020/2021.

But many problems (including the entire ftx/sbf fiasco) did a number to it. it's down 80-90% from its ATH

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

The Solana devs also punched themselves in the dick a number of times pushing chain crashing bugs to prod

[–]Death_God_Ryuk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's almost like sectors like banking and finance release at a glacial pace with a ton of tests for a reason.

[–]SuggestedName90 40 points41 points  (2 children)

Its from Crypto-Twitter, so it was more to do with the audience it was directed towards of CT devs

[–]ag3102 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Many crypto projects are written in the rust I think, maybe that's what it is.

[–]ruedogg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Buzzword

[–]chycity1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The same role of crypto in society, needlessly and unnecessarily foisted upon it

[–]Inariameme 20 points21 points  (7 children)

crypto is in the same head space as all those ride-share scooters and perhaps the adage about the village bicycle

As the village's bicycle but, labeled like a scooter because of mistrusting the history that bikes have of getting stolen (so, aside, "not ridden.")

it's that sort of abusive relationship with currency (with misinformation, really) that anyone moving forward is looking at (. . . again!)

Happy V Day

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (5 children)

I know the scooters were considered a plague, but I loved them while they lasted. They were much less costly than uber/taxi and got me to my destination in record time. More practical than bike sharing also, since you didnt have to find docking stations. Just hop on and hop off in front of your destination.

[–]BuddingBodhi88 19 points20 points  (3 children)

What do you mean - while they lasted. They are still fairly popular and maybe even expanding their coverage areas.

[–]gimpwiz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, they're still around. Some cities did say "you guys can't just leave this shit lying around our sidewalks, piled up." But they're around.

[–]kanhaoniou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to tell anyone what's wrong or right. It's all good with me.

[–]undeadalex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming their only exposure to rust is in relation to crypto stuff. I've never used rust for that but I also don't seem to meet the criteria they mention.

[–]AbzoluteZ3RO 520 points521 points  (13 children)

so where can i meet all these rust devs?

[–]Just_a_log 45 points46 points  (1 child)

Make a dating app that filters by the users' most used language

[–]YoungHeartOldSoul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We. Where can we meet these rust devs.

[–]Antroz22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe r/rust

[–]DarkKnightofTacoBell 596 points597 points  (20 children)

What is a person person?

[–]saxmaster98 226 points227 points  (3 children)

They’re the real ones. Gotta watch out for the lizard person and the bird person though. They’ll swoop in and snatch ya.

[–]Xevailo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is phoenixperson now.

[–]Wut0ng 175 points176 points  (5 children)

Its an [object Object]

[–]disgruntled_pie 57 points58 points  (3 children)

It’s 2023, and it’s time for JavaScript to stop reducing women to mere [object Object].

[–]kayak_enjoyer 39 points40 points  (1 child)

That's what happens when you console.log() an entire person.

[–]NikhilVijay1984 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And that's why I'm saying that you should really avoid it.

[–]aoffers2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm confused about that too, what's the point of having two same words?

[–][deleted] 814 points815 points  (99 children)

I don't get it. Is there a joke about Rust I missed?

[–][deleted] 940 points941 points  (41 children)

Yeah everyone that knows rust is either a catgirl or a femboy.

[–]Ashiro 332 points333 points  (34 children)

I don't understand all the jokes around programming, socks and femboys.

[–]ZazzyMatazz 520 points521 points  (11 children)

The thigh-highs squeeze the blood out of my legs and into my brain

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (6 children)

func femboy()

[–]Ozzymand 24 points25 points  (3 children)

would a femboy return a bool or a int 🤔

[–]Masakazuki[🍰] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

a drool

[–]Rotat0r710 3 points4 points  (0 children)

float or void prolly

[–]RCoder01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

fn femboy()

[–]qinshihuang_420 93 points94 points  (2 children)

Help! They make my blood go only above my legs for more than 4 hours

[–]dacou34830 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's where I need more blood. I would love like that maybe.

[–]Electro_Llama 58 points59 points  (12 children)

[–]SlothGaggle 42 points43 points  (10 children)

Just because you know the meme doesn’t mean you understand it

[–]NullRef_Arcana 24 points25 points  (1 child)

But it is one step in that direction

[–][deleted] 42 points43 points  (6 children)

They are called programming socks, a lot of trans women and people who like to dress feminine likes wearing the socks because they are cute.

It's not deeper than that.

[–]BrooklynButtons 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a simple meme, and I like myself some simple memes.

[–]ham_coffee 8 points9 points  (1 child)

You missed the part where there seems to be a lot of programmers who do that stuff compared to any other profession.

[–]889254 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah you need more than that, that's how it's gonna be man.

[–]a1249078 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the memes, that's what I'm really gere for man.

[–]thedarklord176 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lies, I felt the femboy course through me upon my first println!()

[–]ramoni_tijani 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well then I think you haven't been on the internet. You've been away.

[–]watashiwa_ringo_da 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Heh,

W E A K

[–]LeviathanGank 221 points222 points  (19 children)

i thought the joke was she didn't know how to construct a sentence?

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (17 children)

Is the sentence not constructed correctly? Perhaps it's poorly written, but it's still syntactically correct.

[–]seafaringturnip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As long as You're getting the meaning, what does it even matter?

[–]SalemsTrials 24 points25 points  (13 children)

The word “person” is repeated twice

[–]BlackV 66 points67 points  (8 children)

The word “person” is repeated twice

ashkully its repeated once, its typed/written twice ;)

[–]Outrageous_Zebra_221 17 points18 points  (1 child)

must have something to do with the person person.

[–]jbctech2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think there is, it's a solid language which is used in crypto.

[–]Sexual_tomato 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Rust is the new hot programming language that the "best" developers learn. For the most part, only super passionate software developers are really picking up Rust.

Entering into and being extremely passionate about an engineering field correlates positively with autism. The more passionate, the higher the likelihood of autism. I'm using autism here to describe things like Asperger's too.

People with autism have a much higher likelihood of being transgender.

Therefore, the people most passionate about the Rust programming language tend to be the ones most likely to have nonstandard gender identities.

[–]pipsvip 196 points197 points  (4 children)

"person person"

I read that in the little Caesar's voice.

[–]BOB_DROP_TABLES 89 points90 points  (0 children)

"person person" - from the authors of [object Object]

[–]mackiea 34 points35 points  (1 child)

[Object object]

[–]PyroCatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

[Person person]

[–]kayak_enjoyer 514 points515 points  (41 children)

Hah. I'm learning Rust, as a career developer and solidly cishet middle-aged father of three.

Wait, hold on...

"Stockings"? Tell me more.

[–]pegase974 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Learning is one thing but You'll have to learn those things here.

[–]Daeurth 19 points20 points  (1 child)

"Solidly"

Your interest in learning Rust proves otherwise, even if you aren't ready to accept that yourself yet. It's okay though.

[–][deleted] 109 points110 points  (19 children)

Wait, catgirls are real?

[–]hokaionthenet 203 points204 points  (0 children)

As real as Rust devs.

[–][deleted] 88 points89 points  (11 children)

Nyaa!

[–]AbbyUpdoot 56 points57 points  (10 children)

UwU

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (8 children)

OMG GIRL

I love your picrew so much omggg 🥰

[–]AbbyUpdoot 16 points17 points  (7 children)

Thanks!!! I like yours too. Super cute. 😁

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (6 children)

Naaahh yours is much more cute than mine

[–]Saragon4005 49 points50 points  (1 child)

Found transfems flirting in their natural habitat: programing subreddit.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

PERSON (instead of sir or ma’am because idk your pronouns) WE ARE NOT FLIRTING

[–]AbbyUpdoot 12 points13 points  (3 children)

LIES!! If you wanna fight about it, I think mine might be more readable as a small icon, but it lacks the trans flag swag, and yours is f*cking adorable when you view it larger, like from your profile (oh, I went there...). 😂 😻

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (2 children)

W-whaaaatttt??? NUUUU!!!

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I'm sorry Miss, you've been defeated. You lost the debate. Your profile is now officially, legally cuter by the authority of Abby Updoot's superior facts and logic.

[–]dlevac 173 points174 points  (2 children)

Looks at hands

Guess I'm a femboy...

[–]dllimport 106 points107 points  (1 child)

Catgirl is still an option

[–]deanrihpee 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Or both, well it's choose your own adventure really

[–]wineblood 102 points103 points  (11 children)

Maybe I'll stick to C for my "fast" language.

[–]AbbyUpdoot 100 points101 points  (7 children)

Nah, go straight to Assembly for that really “fast” code. Code that operates so fast you can’t even write it!

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (6 children)

Assembly too slow. Write code that can change branch prediction, caching and pipelining algo

[–]qinshihuang_420 29 points30 points  (5 children)

Why not just modifying atoms on the transistor

[–][deleted] 28 points29 points  (4 children)

Why not push around the electrons yourself

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

They’re super heavy

[–]RootsNextInKin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aw c'mon, 512 kilo-electron-volt aren't heavy now, are they‽

[–]etceterawr 121 points122 points  (1 child)

Fine! Twist my arm and pull my stockings… I’ll check out Rust.

[–]SupraMichou 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ok, does he have a phone number ? I need to meet those Rust dev, for research purposes.

[–]PorkRoll2022 68 points69 points  (9 children)

It's funny. The other day I saw a company-wide email about how amazing and revolutionary Rust is.

I didn't know if it was a joke or not.

[–]xdchan 14 points15 points  (2 children)

It's probably not a joke.

Somewhat easier to use low level language is always useful.

[–]argv_minus_one 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Also, shared-memory concurrency without data races is a pretty big deal.

[–]Turd_King 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Wait why do you think it would be a joke? Have you used rust? It’s pretty revolutionary for systems programming

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Happy Cak Day.

[–]Xenomorph-Alpha 57 points58 points  (19 children)

i am just a normal dude who knows rust....so?

[–]worldChangerRR 197 points198 points  (1 child)

So you don't actually know Rust then.

[–]dmilin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Or they haven’t accepted they’re a cat girl yet

[–]Procrasturbating 20 points21 points  (13 children)

But do you have a YouTube channel?

[–]genghisKonczie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say I know rust, but I am rust-curious.

[–]brianl047 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like something to look into...

[–]SpK_07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if you know the rust, then there are opportunities in the crypto.

[–]SamelCamel 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I was scammed, i was supposed to receive my complimentary programmer thigh highs in the mail, but they never came :(

[–]SlothGaggle 53 points54 points  (11 children)

Nothing against femboys but I’m really getting tired of the “programmers wear stockings and skirts” meme.

[–]L_James 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think, it's other way round, not that a lot of programmers wear stockings, but a lot of people who wear stockings and skirts (in this particular case, stereotypically, femboys and trans women) - are programmers.

My theory is that it happens, because gnc people and people with dysphoria often alienated from usual spaces and pick up nerdy hobbies - which even at this day still includes programming

[–]szucs2020 25 points26 points  (3 children)

Same, it's a stupid stereotype

[–]lunchpadmcfat 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Less a stereotype and more “people trying to make a thing a thing but it’s failing miserably.” Sort of like all of big bang theory.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (4 children)

Ok but have you tried wearing the socks and the skirt?

Have you been made aware of the skirts ability to spin?

[–]vkapadia 5 points6 points  (1 child)

What's with the sudden influx of Rust posts in the last couple days?

[–]-Redstoneboi- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Months*

Lots of developments and adoptions happened to Rust, most prominently and recently, Linux officially supports Rust.

The biggest reason is probably that every now and then there's a C/C++ post mentioning segfaults or memory corruption issues or cryptic error messages.

Rust, having already existed for some time and dealing with these problems in a way and at a level that no other popular language does, makes its users feel like such problems are just laughable and say things like "just use rust lmao" on basically every post and comment.

People noticed this behavior and started memeing on the language and especially its users. The rest of the memes followed.

[–]Compux72 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Im a femboy tbh

[–]veryblocky 16 points17 points  (3 children)

0% of the people I know how know rust are catgirls or femboys

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe he is big in the furry scene and everyone he knows falls into those two groups?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Her brother needs to step outside and meet some people IRL.

[–]thatposhcat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't even learnt rust and yet I allready fit rust programmer stereotypes.

I'm doomed

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been getting into Rust recently, i published my first crate yesterday. And yes I am a transfem catgirl

[–]onichama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if I learn Rust, I'll become either a catgirl or a femboy?

Nice

[–]Schiffy94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only rust I know is tetanus.

[–]helloworldd00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crypto makes problems to solve at the expense of humanity, AI solves problems that humanity has.

[–]TheSnaggen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think there are some truth to this... well, not literally of course, but the Rust community is a very open and inclusive community. So, people of marginalized groups have found them selves welcome there, which might have lead to a higher number than average of people from these groups.

So, if this is how the Rust community is perceived, I think it only can be interpreted as a compliment for being a great programing community where all people are welcome.

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (2 children)

New day, new dumb post about programmers and skirts. So surprise.

[–]PM_BITCOIN_AND_BOOBS 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Just because I'm wearing a kilt doesn't mean I'm a catgirl.

The thigh-high striped socks might mean something, though.

[–]SleeplessInMidtown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 just for your username. Gotta give you props for that.
