C++ is mentioned in that comment but the same can be said of many other languages.

I found this in the doxidize docs, and thought it was amusing:
When you invoke
doxidize clean, here's what happens:It deletes the
target/docsdirectory. While this seems straightforward, note that there's at least one bug in the current implementation.

A bit sharp, but nevertheless funny:
Haskell/Idris folks is probably the last group of users I’d personally care about, they have every piece of punctuation occupied for something highly useless for non-PL-enthusiasts.

Rust is one of those friends that take some time to get along with, but that you'll finally want to engage with for a long term relationship.

I’ve become fearless in Rust, but it’s made me fear every other language...

last time i talked to the infra team they made a bot to replace kennytm. i fear if I ask them to write a rust based unikernel with a custom os to host the docs they'll actually do it

Explicitness is the fourth core value of Rust. Ironically, I don’t see that “Explicitness” is ever explicitly stated as a goal of Rust. But, given the choice between implicitness and explicitness, Rust usually chooses explicitness.

Software is partly a production problem, but it’s mainly a maintenance problem. Powerful primitives like Rust are our path to building sustainable services that don’t need human attention around the clock, and which can be expected to operate reliably over epochs measured in decades instead of weeks.

Well I didn't expect the bloody Rust Evangelism Strike Force.
bursts through conveniently placed door
NOBODY EXPECTS THE RUST EVANGELISM STRIKE FORCE! Our chief feature is safety. Safety and speed. Our two main features are safety and speed. And fearless concurrency. Three! Our three main features are safety, speed, and fearless concurrency. And a fanatical devotion to Ferris.

Excellent showcase of the potential of multithreading, unlocked by Rust:
TL;DR: I reduced the dump time from 506s to 26s by fixing some simple issues and taking advantage of Rust "fearless parallelism".

When picking up a lentil (
Result) a pigeon (?) must consider two options. If the lentil is a good one (Ok), the pigeon simply puts it into the pot (evaluates to the wrapped value). However, if the lentil happens to be a bad one (Err), the pigeon eats it, digests it (from) and finally “returns” it. Also the silhouette of a pigeon kind of resembles a questionmark.

(after explaining bit of Rust using Java)
I’m sorry to have subjected you to Java. You can stop weeping and screaming now, you’re not in the first year of your computer science course anymore. Unless you are, in which case I’m so sorry.
