Say 'Any Language Is Fine' in Front of Programmers, Get Crucified

Description

A three-panel meme built from Amazon Prime's Fallout TV series (Prime watermark in each panel). Panel one: Lucy (in a blue-and-yellow Vault 33 jumpsuit, surrounded by armored raiders) says the yellow-captioned line: 'It doesn't matter what programming language you use as long as it works for you and you like it'. Panel two: a smirking raider in spiked armor, labeled 'Programmers', looks at her skeptically. Panel three: the scene cuts to her strung up on a wooden cross against the sky - the community's response to her tolerant take. The meme satirizes programming language tribalism: the most reasonable, ecumenical opinion about language choice is treated as heresy punishable by crucifixion in dev communities

The language is an implementation detail; the crucifixion is the code review.

This meme gains a lot from making the fine distinction between developer and programmer.
