I was a C/C++ dev for a long time. Then a while back I got an ewaste Thinkpad running Linux and have started developing in Rust. When do my programming socks show up?

I am trans
Do i need to learn rust?
I'm a rust developer, do I need to transition?
To both of you a clear yes!
RemindMe! 2 years
Good read, thanks
But I believe in generics, just write your functions so that it can work with all the types ;)
translation: Just get rid of what is a boy or a girl thing. Just let people do what they like.
Only if you like women
Let's not go referring to vibe coders as developers, now.
MatLab user
I like how it doesn't say "coder" because everyone knows MatLab isn't a real programming language
Gnu octave on the other hand...
Then what's Java?
Shadow that is cast by the sins of men
LMAOOOO
Coffee? Idk I'm not a coder, I just know MatLab lol

Am a trans Rust developer. Can confirm.
I'm old and remember when all the trans women were Haskellers. now they've all moved to Rust and here I am, still toiling away with my monads and combinators, a lonely spinster. 😔
Do I get points for being an F# nerd?
C++ lets you assign variables with <%%> in case your parents were killed by an equals sign.
I have the perfect module to use this once. Most people will see it and will figure out that it is doing what it should, but no one can change it because the file will be LFS locked like 99% of the time.
TIL about bat! Looks awesome!
Bat is really cool - I share your enthusiasm! As far as I remember, the repo for bat has a bunch of example use cases that I hadn't thought of, fyi!
Finally, someone gets it

having a C# dev boyfriend would be such a boon. "hey honeyyy? unity is not doing what I want it to, can you be my rubber ducky? <3" Wait, I remebered I am using Unreal/ C++ now. Nevermind. 10/10 accurate diagram.
As a c++ professor, I would never lie to my students like this.
The word for R Studio fan is "scientist"
#include <delusion>
delusion was added in C++24 and we are stuck in C++03 😭
C++, ew, no thanks, also where is C??
You can't spell "INCEL" without "C"
😭😭😭😭
Whew! Thankfully I'm a gay JavaScript user
everybody on the internet is a javascript user! do you even develop, bro?

I started learning Coq recently. Where does that place me?
The White House?
It places you one year ago before they rebranded in rocq (obviously to stop the puns)
Me, looking between a picture of Bjarne Stroustrup and OP: ... are you sure about that?

RStudio and SQL are the only ones of those things I’m aware of having experience with (no idea what language rimworld is coded in, but I’ve also only read that, not tried to modify it).
But if some dude wanted to spend a bunch of time and energy to teach me all about their burning passion language or whatever, that’d be pretty hot. Maybe not JavaScript.. ;)
Not in a “dick me down immediately” sort of way, ofc, but in a “mmmm sexy brain and sexy willingness to teach complicated stuff” sort of way. And really to me that’s a solid spring-board to “dick me down immediately” territory.
I second this. This is how I got my wife to like me.
Be careful not to go overboard though, my wife, during the first few weeks, thought I might be hacking into her phone because I was tech savvy and we had too many weird things in common.
Matlab?! Holy shit hahaha
I expected circular arrows pointing back towards themselves for many on the diagram.
