cargo-memex is a cargo subcommand that makes it easy to ditch regular rust binaries in favor of memes, which is arguably the far superior container format for rust executables. Rather than to ordinary rust binaries, cargo-memex compiles rust code directly into a meme of your liking.

Also, normal rust executables cannot be easily posted on imageboards like tumbler, or to show off your rust skills on r/rustjerk or on slack or twitter. This also makes it possible to use imagehosting services to distribute your executables.

The same problem exists for different release versions which visually always look completely identical. With cargo-memex you can compile each new release into a different meme to highlight the differences. This makes support much easier since everyone can directly see which version is installed.

Once memes are more widely adapted as rust executables, which is expected to happen soon, support for publishing memes will be required.
