In one of the Attenborough documentaries, they showed Hyenas visiting the capital of Ethiopia that locals feed them at night. I was like looks like a much poorer city than Bangalore, but darn their streets are so clean (even at night).

I used blue mail for years and recommended it to my wife and some of her friends. Everyone likes it. I, however, moved to fairmail and been very happy with it. Reason: its foss and much better than k9. Have a look at its feature set and UI.

I agree but I tool functional programming course in college. It was hard! Someone who may not have invested enough in leaning basics of FP, I can totally see why Rust feels like a hard language. During the prototyping phase, I also avoid li

Why can't they just improve tooling and dependency management first? After using Cargo, I now find Python's tooling unbearable. Once you have seen the other side, there no coming back.

Too bad it doesn't work on Windows out of thr box without cygwin/msys trickery. The lippcap doesnt have an open source alternative on windows. winpcap is almost dead and npcap is not free to use.
