This is from the _book_ "Forrest Gump" by Winston Groom, which I finished recently. The book is written in 1986, and the events described in this scene are happening in the 1970s.

Stop saying that one programming language is better than another. It all depends what you want to do. When you want to fight with a borrow checker, use Rust.

Grrr... I'm paying my city tax online, and here is what I see. What? For all the taxes I'm paying you, can't you hire a programmer to parse the string I'm entering??? Why should I _carefully_ insert a space after the first two digits???
