I get that it's supposed to be a meme, but aside from the first one these aren't even rust stereotypes. Is this a meme specifically for people who haven't used rust, know nothing about rust but have maybe heard that it's a programming language?
Yeah, part of the point of Rust is that it does exactly what you tell it - sometimes to the point of absurdity. No implicit casting for instance.
I mean Rust is definitely known for long compilation times but yeah otherwise I am not sure how any of this is Rust-specific. Maybe by "doesn't do what you tell it to do" they mean the borrow checker and strict compile time checks...?
i've edited the post content for context, and a small puzzle for rust programmers
I was actually wondering if this was supposed to be about a specific problem someone has with rust (not like I haven't gotten stuck on some weird corner with rust before), but looking at the meme, that seemed unlikely to me. Thanks for the context.
