For this to be accurate you need to change it to "why don't you rewrite it in rust"? Rust fans say this so often they made it an acronym (RIIR).

Ah yeah
Rust is the new hype

[–] tappyturtle@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like this is more Rust programmers

No, no. Python is for harassing the beginners, who can't switch from anything yet.

Rust is for switching to.

@anders@rytter.me you should rewrite this meme but for rust

If you would like a compelling reason to switch to Python, please see here.

This is literally any other programmer when I use Python for a project, telling me to switch to their preferred language instead because "Python is just for scripting."

What a shame. Python is so awesome for so many cases.

Highfive! It is, and part of the reason I use it so often is because I just enjoy programming in it. I feel like enjoying the process is important even if the result is a fraction of a second slower than if I had used another language, because enjoying the process means I'm actually going to get the thing done.

Indeed. It doesn't have to run fast if we are talking applications where performance isn't important.
