This is a parody song in the style of Cypress Hill — Insane in the Brain

(Verse 1)
Who you tryin’ to get crazy with, ‘squito? Don’t you know I’m coding in CrabLang?

https://crablang.org

Just like in the ocean, where the waves crash,
Over in CrabLang, we don’t mess with trash,
Garbage collection’s not our deal,
It’s safety and performance that we feel.

An intricate crab building block by block,
Check the syntax, friend, it’s no mock,
Keep your memory safe, that’s the creed,
With CrabLang, we’ve got the speed.

(Chorus)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane in the brain (CrabLang insane)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane in the drain (CrabLang insane)

(Verse 2)
Like the tick tock of a giant clock,
Compile your fears, let’s have a talk,
Into binaries, clean and lean,
Our compiled programs, a sight unseen.

Parallel programming, no data race,
Multithreading’s done with grace,
In this tide pool, no need for a life vest,
Cause in the CrabLang, we’re the best.

(Chorus)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane in the frame (CrabLang insane)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Got no bugs, got no pain (CrabLang insane)

(Bridge)
Do my coding, with no remorse,
CrabLang’s taking us on a course,
Immutable by default, we’re set,
Once you’re in, you’ll never fret.

(Verse 3)
We’re zero-cost abstractions, got our trait,
Efficient C-bindings won’t make you wait,
Got algebraic data types, you see,
And pattern matching, just for thee.

Safe concurrency’s our main plan,
With CrabLang, you can be the man,
In this language, we’ve found our rest,
’Cause with CrabLang, we are the best.

(Chorus)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane in the main (CrabLang insane)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane, no strain (CrabLang insane)

(Outro)
From ownership to borrowing, we’ve been schooled,
In CrabLang, we’ve got all the tools,
No data corruption or leaks, not here,
In CrabLang, we code without fear.

(End Chorus)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane in the brain (CrabLang insane)
Insane with the CrabLang (CrabLang insane)
Insane, got no chain (CrabLang insane)
