I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.

Over the last one or two years I feel like Rust haters have gotten even louder than the Rust evangelists. For every person who declares "Rewrite it in Rust!" I see two or three people saying how they hate Rust or how pointless it is and so on.

I am convinced Rust haters are simply refusing to learn something new, consciously or not.

I don't like rust because I'm too stupid to understand it

Yeah, this whole meme just looks like ‘I hate Rust and don't want it anywhere’

Of course, there is importance in trying it everywhere, because it shows where the language and ecosystem lacks and can evolve; but beside that, I think adoption by big companies wouldn't happen if it wasn't any good as some want to believe

The Lemmy backend is also written in rust
