Would be cool if it went into greater detail. "Oh, you're a C programmer? You can work on NSS". Thanks for letting me know. I'll log that away. How about this: "You're a C programmer? Here's an interesting bug targeted to the NSS component I've pulled from Mozilla's bug database which might catch your fancy" Hm, that's interesting. How would I solve that? Maybe if I...no. Hm. Let me pull down the source code to see what would work here...

  I'm pretty sure those are just some tongue-in-cheek jokes, all in good fun

  Except Rust, all other languages have theirs. I hardly understand how people can feel offended from jokes such as these.
