          Yes, but he’s doing it because he values the technological advantages of rust as a systems programming language, not because he likes to punish coders. In fact, rust has been the most loved programming languge for 7 or 8 years in a row now according to the big stack overflow survey, so it doesn’t make much sense for the purpuse of punishment.

          This satiric picture resonates with a certain community of conservative and overconfident C-programmers. It has been created by bryan lunduke, who is a reactionary dumb fuck.

        Finland is in an extended sense ‘Scandinavian’; though I’m not sure that they consider themselves descended from ‘the Vikings’.
