Rust...

 The Technical Joke:

The humor lies in the implication that someone would go to the effort of using cutting-edge technologies like Rust and Svelte, which are often chosen for applications expecting significant scale and performance demands, only to end up with a tiny user base. It satirizes the idea of over-engineering or using advanced tools for a project that doesn't seem to warrant them in terms of popularity.

It's funny to developers because they understand the effort and considerations that go into choosing these technologies. Building a backend in Rust and a frontend in Svelte suggests a developer who is likely knowledgeable and focused on performance and modern practices. The low user count makes the effort seem disproportionate and somewhat ironic.

The meme uses the image of Vince McMahon reacting with increasing levels of shock and excitement to visually amplify the perceived contrast between the impressive tech stack and the underwhelming user numbers. The final panel with glowing eyes exaggerates the absurdity of the situation.
