Rust's 'Hello World': The Pinnacle of Performance

Description

A multi-panel meme using the 'Nobody: Absolutely no one:' format to preface the main joke. The top text reads 'Nobody:', 'Absolutely no one:', 'Not a single soul on this Earth:', and finally 'Every software that was written in Rust:'. The bottom part of the image is a screenshot of a GitHub-like repository page. The project description says 'Yet another insanely fast Hello World program made in Rust (⚡️ blazingly fast ⚡️) 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 (super fast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥)'. Below this are numerous tags such as 'rust', 'rs', 'superfast', 'madeinrust', 'blazinglyfast', and 'fast'. The repository shows an exaggerated '1.89 million stars'. The meme satirizes the Rust programming language community's perceived tendency to excessively praise the performance of Rust applications. The humor lies in the absurdity of describing a trivial 'Hello World' program - whose execution time is negligible in any compiled language - as 'insanely' and 'blazingly fast'. The ridiculously high star count further mocks the hype and evangelism that can surround new technologies within developer communities

Rust Hello World: cargo spends 2 minutes compiling a crate graph the size of Kubernetes, the binary prints in 0.2 µs, and the README calls it “blazingly fast” - Amdahl’s marketing law in action

After 15 years of watching languages come and go, nothing quite matches the Rust community's ability to turn a 3-line Hello World into a dissertation on zero-cost abstractions, memory safety without GC, and why your startup's CRUD app definitely needs fearless concurrency - all while the Node.js version shipped to production six months ago

1.89M stars for Hello World - the binary runs in 2ms, same as C, but the README compiles straight to dopamine

This perfectly captures the Rust community's relationship with performance benchmarks: even a Hello World needs to be 'blazingly fast' with enough emoji firepower to melt your GPU. The 1.89 million stars suggest this is either the most revolutionary stdout operation in computing history, or we've collectively forgotten that premature optimization is the root of all evil - though in Rust's defense, the borrow checker already made us suffer through the 'mature' optimization phase

Rust gives you zero cost abstractions; GitHub READMEs give zero evidence benchmarks - the borrow checker still won’t validate ‘blazingly fast’

Rust hello worlds: 2MB binaries screaming 'blazingly fast' while cargo build sips coffee for 5 minutes

Rust README bingo: blazingly fast twice, zero benchmarks, and a BSD-3-Clause license to rewrite the world - until someone whispers 'I/O bound' and all the rockets stall

Fuck rust, my homies using c

@dsmagikswsa 4y

Link?
1. @RiedleroD 4y
  
  pretty sure this is fake, since I've never even seen a project with that many stars & there are duplicate tags on that repository, which is impossible on gh afaik

  I found this beautiful thing https://github.com/mTvare6/hello-world.rs
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  lmao
  
  @QutePoet 4y
  
  Shocking number of issues!
  
  @Vanilla_Danette 4y
  
  They are mostly security vulnerabilities in crates I'm starting to think it's not even a simple hello world :\
  
  @semjonsona 4y
  
  LMFAO, thank you for linking
  
  @anatoli26 4y
  
  That's some idiot created a parody trying to bash Rust.. there were times when people resisted electricity and automation tools adoption being afraid to lose jobs.. 🤦‍♂️ looks like Einstein was right about the stupidity being ♾
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  It's obvious that it's parody, man.
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  this is a meme channel, not a news channel
  
  @anatoli26 4y
  
  yeah but it's intentional trying to ridicule Rust.. poor people they have so much free time to create this shit
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  I doubt it actually took that long to make.
  
  @anatoli26 4y
  
  I mean the real GH project.. it surely took considerable time.. to craft deps with CVEs, write asm bash python incs, etc. etc.
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  I doubt the original project had all that & most of that was probably incrementally added through PRs by different people
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  and there's nothing wrong with making a joke at the expense of a programming language
  
  @anatoli26 4y
  
  it's like to drop the safest car from 100mts and say: you see, after all it's not that safe!
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  make that into a practical joke and I've got nothing against it
  
  dev_meme 4y
  
  but you know, we have a joke for every language

  Hehe

  what is name

  Telegram name to be more specific
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  a label or designation a subject or antropomorphized object is referred as
  
  @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 4y
  
  Did you actually looked up the official definition?
  
  @RiedleroD 4y
  
  lol no, just wrote something that sounded like it could be one
@feedable 4y

And this is good! Because there’s never a totally universal language Via humour (and memes, in particular) we communicate our collective knowledge so each of us becomes better person and better professional Don’t feel attacked (I remeber you are in love with Rust). This is just a language, an instrument. This particular memes does not say even a bad thing about rust, but instead ridicule wrong intentions in community. Compare it to the situation when left-pad got removed from npm. Does this whole situation makes JS better or worser language? I wouldn’t say so. This is just situation around instrument and community, a super weird one, of course, but doesn’t make a language or one of related instruments (nodejs, express, etc) linked to the language a bad instrument. Tho of course it highlighted a problem NPM had, but problems the only reason why people try to improve something
@NoCountryForOldBuffet 4y

And it’s not even attacking Rust per se, just how a vocal subset of Rust programmers choose to tag, title, and describe their projects, EG bragging about speed in cases where it would never be the bottleneck anyway
@RiedleroD 4y

and the tags also
@RiedleroD 4y

has already been found, I don't think that's the template for the meme here
@azizhakberdiev 4y

Looks like a math problem, on which you spend 5 pages to solve and find that the answer is 0
1. @callofvoid0 4y
  
  it is most likely you use all math methods to show a 2+2 statement

  prove that 27+3=30 by evaluating the statement modulo 2, 3, 5 and 27
  
  @sylfn 4y
  
  prove statement using wolframalpha
