It’s kinda serious, but definitely also a meme. Basically, Rust is the safest mainstream language out there (unlike languages like C or C++, which are full of foot guns, or things like JavaScript or Python, which aren’t even strongly typed), so there’s a strong desire to rewrite things in just because you often don’t encounter stupid bugs in Rust code - the compiler won’t let you write it. There are safer languages out there, but they’re highly impractical for general purposes and are used for insanely mission critical shit (e.g. pacemakers).

I want to scream, “try Purescript” when I watch this video. This guy clearly loves Haskell but doesn’t seem aware of Purescript.
