You could say they have rewritten the joke in Rust
But you get the joke faster now.
No, it's just impossible for it to leak out of a hole in the back of your head that you didn't realise was growing under your pony tail.

To me it just looks like you do not need the braces at all
A funny, but incredibly subtle joke to do would be to do a post like this, but get the indentation subtly wrong somewhere, so something that's supposed to be inside a loop is outside according to indentation, but is inside according to braces.
I'm good at Python, and I don't know Rust. This looks fine to me. I've fully missed the joke.
Same. Until you notice the column of curly braces and semi colons in the right margin.
Lgtm ship it to prod
Lgtm? Let's go to Madrid?
You never review code when you have no time to do an actual review? Looks good to me :)
You never review code when you have no time to do an actual review?
Nope. Then again, I never review code at all 🤷😁
Don’t review, don’t write tests, and don’t even do QA. All of those tasks are overhead. It’s time you could be spending completing more story points. All that matters is story points, not the customer, not your coworkers, not your happiness, not your sanity. Just story points.

Oh, so Rust is like JavaScript!
No, Rust lacks the semicolon elision rules of Javascript which make everyone always use semicolons in javascript because they're so horribly broken.
Rust is like ML, quite literally, not just by ancestry: The syntax is palpably ugly, but at least it's sane, regular, and concise where it matters.

Oh... Oh god
rustfmt
is stopping me from writing code like this, and I have never been more happier using it after viewing this.
I'm going to write a tool that automatically adds the braces and semicolons to the column as you edit the code.
I will call it rustfml
Crap, thats what I was thinking.
It could be run after git checkout and then rustfmt before commit.
Slow down satan

Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!
Can't you fix the default format to this?
My medication mostly.
I hate it with every fibre of my being but also secretly calmed by that column of statement terminators and brackets.
It's like the code representation of the Vancouver riots kiss photo.

This makes my deeply uncomfortable, like an itch I can't quite scratch.

DwangoAC and the TASBot crew are maniacs in the best possible way. I would like to continue having a high opinion of him, hence I will pretend that this post does not exist.
Wow, so this is possible.
Formatting is so damn arbitrary. Somebody has to have tried storing just the parse tree on disk, right?
If you do that, you lose formatting and comments every time you load the source from disk
Losing formatting other than what you've set in your deparser would be the point. Losing comments would be bad, but that seems easily fixable just by giving each comment block a symbol that points to it's contents.
Or by including comments in the parse tree. (& Yes, it is done various places for various languages and formats.)

Oh... Oh! Well, that is creative.
Sanity
I’ll allow it!
My humanity.
I like python like really really like it. But this should be a warcrime
No
I don't know Rust. 🤷🏻♂️
(I mean, I don't know a lot of Python either so I can't even get the joke. 😞)
In Rust and lots of other languages you have to end each statement with a semicolon. The semi colon is usually placed right after the statement, but in this example there's indentation after each statement before the semicolon so they're all aligned.
There's also the curly brackets, they're padded in the same way, but those usually define where a scope (block) starts and ends making it even worse.
Look at the right side of the code editor
These scrollbars with issue indicators are becoming more and more fancy
lmao I didn't even notice
