    GHC to Rust:

    Lower your flags and march straight back to Mountain View, stopping at every home to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do this and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today.

    A hundred different languages all doing the same thing… making the hardware ‘work’. Some programmer has a “better idea” and all the while the architecture remains the same. ish. What’s the point?

      It’s more fun to create something new than it is to improve something that exists

    Maybe don’t try to make programming language jokes out of the concept of systematic rape?

      You can also just read it and see the post for what it is, instead of whatever you’re doing. It’s a funny joke around Rust.

      Point taken, but Big Tech systematically does equally bad things while disguising them behind DevRel, so I think it’s justified to poke fun at that.
