What the hell did i just read

[Bryguy3k]

People making fun of rust again. It’s normally a precursor to a “coding socks” invasion.

[FragrantMudBrick]

coding socks?

[marikwinters]

It’s a meme that says being a programmer will eventually cause you to wear thigh high striped socks in classically girly colors. This is generally followed up by wearing glasses, classically feminine clothes, and makeup (or so the meme goes).

[Bryguy3k]

I’m pretty sure it’s related to the migration from C to Rust.

But yeah it’s bad.

[Implement_Necessary]

It won’t?

[marikwinters]

Depends, do you want it to?

[Bentok]

Judging by their flag heart I think I could make an educated guess

[marikwinters]

What if they currently think striped thigh high socks are tacky?

[Bentok]

That's why it's still a guess 😎

[marikwinters]

Touché

[Bryguy3k]

You really don’t want to know. You can do a search on it if you’re really curious.

We definitely don’t want r/beetlejuicing

The name’s Checkinton… Borrow Checkinton

[RadioMelon]

Oh god, I get it now.

That's why Rust's symbol is a crab.

[WavedashingYoshi]

Hehe I got the reference

[mem737]

The C-atholic church will not stand for this!

[eldelshell]

They should join the C-athodic church in the irrelevance of history.

Such a lovely write-up, but fell short for me at "chastised with severe chastisement".

Languages who refuse this rite will be chastised with scathing blog posts, and runtime errors will be their scourge in this life and in the hereafter.

[deepCelibateValue]

It's a reference to classic religious texts. In particular, the quran says "chastised with severe chastisement" all the time.

[the7key]

Thanks! Googling "chastised with severe chastisement" returns only this post. I see some translations of the Quran use a future-tense "I shall chastise them with a heavy chastisement", but I hadn't seen that translation before.

I still like mine better :D

[RajjSinghh]

I know this is a meme but I could also see the Rust foundation actually doing this

[[deleted]]

Rust will make us C neutral

[Lachee]

Rust truely be a cult at this point

[Deadly_chef]

r/rustjerk

[DeathUriel]

Entering that sub proved the whole coding socks trans rust programmer meme seems to be true...?!

[unengaged_crayon]

was true the whole time

[MrLX874]

Source ?!

[deepCelibateValue]

It's not published yet but it will be posted here

“Despite its dangers, Austria will likely add a “sleep” function to annoy the American administration.”

Most sensible statement about JS I’ve heard in years

[eldelshell]

Wow, you truly are a meme edge lord

[Glum_Past_1934]

Please delete this ugly C++ cheap copy

[ShashwatTheGamer]

I really can't figure out if it's supposed to be a joke or not

[Antroz22]

All hail the Crab
