    Look at my statement in context of Mojo. Why would someone use this language if all they want is to "get an idea down quickly"? They would just use Python instead

    PSA: For folks looking for a swipe enabled keyboard on GrapheneOS without using Google's gboard, try Heliboard - https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/ . It's 100% FOSS, …
