If I find myself repeating the same thing over and over it occurs to me that I need to optimize.
Doubly so when working with a computer - after all, the computer is there to do work so I don't have to.
There's something to be said for repetition of course. Practice helps, and there's something to be said about tried and true methods, especially in production code, but again, repetition raises the question of optimization.
This is why design patterns make me low key uncomfortable. I feel like they should be baked into the language, rather than having to repeat the same boilerplate over and over again. With C# they spend all this time adding fluff to the language, when they could be baking in design patterns. Seems a missed opportunity.
I'm a fan of the idea of Domain Specific Languages for this reason, even though I've never used one aside from Synthmaker/Flowstone which I'm not sure counts.
What I'd really like is a language that allows one to augment the grammar, sort of like C# source generator tech except it extends the keywords and syntax of the language and then uses the new grammar to generate code.

Maybe as a hobbyist my opinion does not count for much as I do not live this everyday. But I feel that the language should be as simple and basic as possible. Let libraries and frameworks do the real heavy lifting. I use C++ which has pointers, references, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and templates built in. Using that people were able to build libraries like the STL and frameworks like MFC and QT among many others.
I feel if all that was built into the C++ language itself then the language becomes too overbearing and too hard to learn.
But then again, maybe I am totally missing your whole point.

No, you make a good point, and C++ is a great example of what happens when a language tries to solve everything.
It's just that if libraries could fill the gap by themselves, I feel like they would have already?
It seems to me that libraries tend to fulfill one pattern while creating another (the one you have to use to interact with a library) and based on some DSL work by a former Microsoft mucky muck whose name escapes me at the moment but whose work I've looked over in the past, it seems like having language support for some of these patterns is really the way to solve that last mile integration issue.

Stop inventing new problems and processes. Then the current libraries will be enough.
As long as there is a perceived need for something new, someone will write a library to fill that need. Take your pixel library for instance. I am sure there is already libraries out there that would do what yours does, but not the way you want it done. So you wrote another library for it.
Just more people reinventing the same wheel over and over again.

The product is expensive, but I haven't seen anything to compete with it, and I need the ability to sniff MODBUS commands and responses on a RS-485 bus, interpret them correctly, and save them to a log. This item looks like it will do the job, but it needs to be connected to a PC to perform. I'm thinking I can build or buy a single board computer small enough to be deployed in the field inside a weather-proof box for a week or two to search for missing commands or spurious ones. It would be very helpful to hear from previous users, though, before I embark on this course.

I haven't, but they do have a forum which might be a good place to duplicate this request?

You *could* in theory make one of these. I'm not sure what it costs, but if it's expensive and you're not sure you could produce one yourself with some work.
I made something similar, but it was simply for a basic serial UART, not RS-485.

You could adapt code like that using code like this:

Just a thought, even though it may not be realistic for you. I'd do it, but then I'm a bit crazy.

I've been getting junk E-mails from @message.fedex.com, which a low-level FedEx rep says is not legit (I'm waiting on someone higher up there to confirm this), and I don't want the legitimate messages from @fedex.com to be blocked if I block the messages from @message.fedex.com.

It depends on the mail client you're using. In MS Outlook, I can block the sender (which should be host-specific) or the sender's domain (which should block all hosts and users from the same domain). I say "should" because Outlook has always been a bit flaky, and the latest version is not very predictable. I've never used Yahoo Mail, so I can't advise you, but you might try searching for some FAQs on their site.

I don't know about Yahoo Mail, but every other e-mail client that I have used allows one to block both the user (abc@xyz.com) and the domain (@xyz.com). They also require separate rules for subdomains (@xyz.com vs @tuv.xyz.com).
I doubt that blocking @message.fedex.com will block @fedex.com.
