An extremely crude comic about programming languages

Wat?
The unicyclist on the left is saying the bicyclist is only riding a bike because they don't have enough skill for a unicycle. The unicyclist on the right is saying they can't learn to ride a bike because they've spent too much of their life riding a unicycle. It's a dig at people who don't want to switch to memory-safe languages like rust.

Now that's a stretch, it could be anything (no, it couldn't, although I think this may have application to some other pairs of languages)
I am both the left guy and right guy. If you can't program without using a memory safe language, it's a skill issue. But I also don't want to switch to rust because I like the challenge of manual memory management. (Also rust's syntax and semantics looks like it was designed by a monkey attacking a typewriter.)
Sunk cost fallacy maybe?
Or Stockholm Syndrome
I think it would be clearer if we saw the person on the bike pass by and the last panel was just the character laying on the ground
If all you have is a hammer, everything else looks like a nail.
