Rust Is the Forbidden Fruit

Rust really is the forbidden fruit of programming Pushing Rust code to GitHub: Permission denied: your code is too close to the metal Violating national security. This incident has been reported to FBI. Why are you downvoted brother 😂 The current administration has labeled this repository as part of an anti-ice antifa terrorist organization Pushing C code to GitHub: Permission denied: your code is too close to the metal Violating national security. This incident has been reported to FBI.

A dark-mode comment thread jokes that GitHub rejects Rust code for being too close to the metal and treats it as a national security threat. The same absurd error appears for C code, mocking exaggerated programming-language tribalism and political paranoia. It is used as a reaction to jokes about Rust, C, low-level programming, or controversial repositories.
