      Is this just humor or there’s a reason why people dislike rust? I’m curious.

        There are many who are pushing rust as a religion tan that turns people off.

        Both. The people who promote Rust can be very annoying. They trumpet Rust’s memory safety while turning a blind eye to any problems with the language, let alone the effort required to rewrite a large system and all the bugs such a rewrite will introduce.

        Half joking. Lifetimes can be hard but once you understand the concept it’s quite easy.

        The second joke is about you never learn Rust. You’re always on the learning rollercoaster. Always one step away but each time it makes you rethink the whole language.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m a rust main. But does issues does exist

      just started out rust and made a massive thing with sqlx only to find out the latest versions don’t have mssql support anymore and the last version that did doesn’t support decoding DateTime<Utc> 😭😭😭

      had to rewrite the whole thing again with Tiberius, painful yet educational

    So this has bothered me since I was a teenager.

    In Empire Strikes Back, Yoda talked like this: “Put the cart before the horse, I have.” And he mostly did it while he was pretending to be a dingus early on to test Luke’s patience. Some actual movie quotes: “I cannot teach him. The boy has not patience.” “No. Do, or do not. There is no try.” “Judge me by my size, do you?”

    In the prequel trilogy, it’s like Lucas bought into the meme that Yoda talks funny, so all of a sudden Yoda talks like this “Before the horse, the cart, I have put.” “Around the survivors, a perimeter, create!”

    Anyway.

      Yeah, Yoda became a parody of his character in ESB.

      In ESB he comes across as someone that’s speaking in a second language. Sometimes he mixes up the grammar, especially when emotional and trying to speak quickly, but when he’s more relaxed and speaking slowly (or saying something simple) he usually gets it right.

      In other portrayals it feels more like he’s got brain damage.

      The joke does not specify the number of threads the programmer used, only the number of problems he now has
