Nobody Who Advocates Rewriting in Rust Has Actually Written Rust Code

Description

A meme using a podcast/interview screenshot showing two people in conversation. The dialogue overlay reads: '"we should rewrite it in rust"' / '"yeah, it will be so fast"' / '"have you ever written rust code?"' / '"no, have you?"' / '"no"'. The left panel shows a younger man in a dark suit looking enthusiastic while suggesting the rewrite, and the right panel shows an older man in a plaid shirt looking skeptical/confused. Both are seated at microphones in what appears to be a podcast studio with bookshelves in the background. The meme captures the ubiquitous tech industry phenomenon where developers enthusiastically advocate for rewriting existing systems in Rust without any actual Rust experience

As a man, who actually rewrite some stuff in rust I say that its exactly how I started.
