how can I access IPV4 stuff over IPv6?

slint is more declarative, supports Rust and Python

I probably don't want to know about the performance implications

absolutely yes. I even gave three different places where parenthesis can be used and have different meanings

like parenthesis for functions, tuples and for denoting prioritized evaluation?

It is, but not a trade off many would make. ' itself (!) may not convey information, but it's existence does convey information. While making it a keyword may help beginners to und…

MLS scales best for large n, but WhatsApp/Signal or Matrix do pretty well for < 1k people

even if you have a password in Telegram as a second factor, Telegram can bypass it anyways; and the user isn't even asked

I wonder if this is practically relevant at all. Given that users can access their messages without interaction with people at Telegram, automatic aggregation of the cloud data for…
