Why did you start using Swype if you didn't trust them in the first place? Of course your keyboard can log everything you type.

What resources would you recommend for learning Rust? There's the official tutorial but I have to admit that the later parts of it go over my head a little bit.

Yeah, it's not hard: until you want to reach mailboxes at some obscure providers like Yahoo or Outlook.

Keep in mind that this ain't your daddy's Qt. QML is the new thing and it has a slight learning curve. (And the documentation is unfortunately lacking in some parts, like C++ integration.)
