I have no association with any of these communities, but the crab holding a knife was a somewhat well-known meme[1].
I guess it can also be viewed as a play on words, given that crablang is a fork.
Given that the creators of crablang explicitly say it was a "lighthearted response"[2] to some of Rust's changes, it makes sense that they'd use a meme for a logo.
That said, seems you're not alone in wanting a different logo[3].

- netprole 3y agoAh, I think I remember that image meme from a long time ago (I never would have connected those dots). Thanks for the context here, it actually helps take the edge off!

- magicalhippo 3y agoThat's the challenge with these inside jokes. If you don't get the context, and I didn't recall it instantly either, usually the interpretation will be wildly different.
