Basically there is a stereotype that a lot of trans girls are programmers, and thigh high socks are a stereotype of trans girls along with blahaj ownership as well. There are a lot of chasers on 4chan and some trans folks as well. Therefore some anon shopped a picture of an Amazon listing to say "programming socks" to poke fun at the two stereotypes. People embraced it so much that the socks started showing up on Amazon when you search "programming socks". As for a specific programming language, I have seen Rust associated with trans women.
I for one don't think estrogen has made me better at coding at all. I tried to do Rustlings before and didn't have time to follow through with it, but maybe I should give it another go.
