    Not only, but the opioid crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Opioid_Use_Disorder_Death_Rate,_1980-2021,_of_the_20_Countries_with_the_Highest_GDP_per_Capita.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_...) is still something pretty specific to the United States, so you can't automatically assume that developers from other countries (I'm going by the author's name here because I wasn't able to find other information about him) will be familiar with the street names of various opioids...

What does it mean ?

  Short for oxycodone, a drug abused by addicts.

They were too nerdy to think that way (or even know the street drug names).

  I know it because of movies and books... so can we trust a "next generation proxy framework" by people who don't go out, don't read and don't watch culture things? The name is similar in other languages too..

    The implication of being too nerdy would be that they are extremely well-versed in fantasy, science fiction and/or anime as well as random niche topics. They would probably read or watch way more culture things than you or me, just the kind that deals with current societal issues by allegory and thus wouldn't use real-world street names for drugs Not that I think that that's a fair conclusion to jump through. Occam's razor would prefer "they were probably vaguely aware and didn't care". Just like how Torvalds knowingly named git after a slang word for a stupid person

    Sure, those things are orthogonal to each other.

Yup, here I am on the other side of the world and that was the first thing it reminds me of. The link to Rust is... remote, and I have to think a lot :D
