For this to be accurate you need to change it to "why don't you rewrite it in rust"? Rust fans say this so often they made it an acronym (RIIR).

I feel like this is more Rust programmers

I love rust but yeah definitely would fit the meme better

If you would like a compelling reason to switch to Python, please see here.

Even though I'm mostly a Python programmer now I don't do this but i know so many Python programmers who do this; the thing that is even more annoying is when some of them make up shit trying to prove python is better for a usecase they know NOTHING about

Beginner developers when they realize that the programming language that you use changes from a case to case basic:

No, no. Python is for harassing the beginners, who can't switch from anything yet.

Rust is for switching to.

@anders@rytter.me you should rewrite this meme but for rust

help: you may use a bool value instead
1 | true

This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because "Python is just for scripting."

@whelk
What a shame. Python is so awesome for so many cases.

[–] whelk@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I'm actually going to get the thing done.

@whelk
Indeed. It doesn't have to run fast if we are talking applications where performance isn't important.
