``Meme languages''

I've heard Go and Rust referred to as ``meme languages''. What does that mean?

If you see the word “meme” in the context of “X is a meme Y”, you can be sure that this is a buzzword. This buzzword is currently used in 4chan to mean something like “an overrated idea that I disregard”.
