Yes, but with 0 blocks already, it only needs 62 more for total domination!

That works great 👍

The irony of this meme being posted from a platform written in rust is pretty great ngl

I like how this takes familiarity with the original xkcd comic as a given.

I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.

Rust is fearlessly upholding the whole thing even without touching it. Incredible!

Rust is actually awesome in many ways. No always the right solution, but nice to have in your toolbox.

I'm working with some Rust right now that is 100% a big mess..

It's consistently either the Rust or the Docker components that fail to build. In fairness, it's a VERY big and complex application.

I get the meme (though why was this single unstable point - imagemagick in the original xkcd - removed? To make the left side seem more stable clmpared to the original idea?), it might be trueish atm. But with rust I feel that a lot of projects that are rewritten in rust are quicker arriving at a "finished" (or almost finished) state where they are more or less just tools being used without much discussion anymore. I guess a lot of commonly used tools already use Rust in some way, but i rarely is an issue which makes this discussion-worthy or generates enough conflict in order to raise awareness outside.

I have a hunch that open-source rust-devopment is less of a hassle as a lot of discussion about code or the quality therof is simply avoided by a stricter compiler. If the code committed compiles with rustc there's less possibility of it breaking other things in the codebase or containing hidden dangers that need to be discussed. Overall less friction, less overhead and distruction from the actual coding.
