Am very tempted to see just how long I can string this fellow along.
From: Mark Harris
Hello! Friend,
Good day to you, I am Mark Harris, a citizen of the United Kingdom. I work with National Lottery Commission and Camelot Group PLC, "the official monitoring body and the operator of the UK National Lottery".
I have a very urgent and important financial opportunity to share with you from the National Lottery. This opportunity will be of immense mutual benefit to you and me; if you are interested please contact me for details.
Thanks and God bless
Mark Harris.

I think he want you to buy a ticket.
You might as well - it's about as likely that you'll get any money out of it either way!

I got one from a clerk at the Reserve Bank of India about a foreigner leaving behind Rs 50 million and change.
The Nigerians are far ahead in this game!

It was broke, so I fixed it.

were you able to evaluate his Name, the Company and, let´s say, his Position in the Company?
then, and only then i would consider temptation as an Option...
but, in my opinion, answering to those "invitations" is a loss of lifetime mostly...

i never received those mails.
ok, that "turns the Tide"...
(thank god for LEO! without it, my english would be abysmal!

Send him a Nigerian's email address.
Probably both end up in the same box.

Go for it, Ravi! I look forward to your progress reports!

Rust[^]
Quote: Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details
It's a Mozilla backed language and I can't help but think the world does not need another programming language. However, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's been playing with it.

Steel yourself...

It'll certainly test your mettle.

OK, I'm done.

Nope! Looks like F# for Mozilla though.

aside from being a new language what is it's purpose?
to create something simpler to work vs C/C++? getting kind of burned on all of these new languages trying to create a simpler c/c++.
are pointers really that much of a problem to deal with?
you want something inspirational??

Raw pointers? yeah
Standard Library resource managers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr? no, those are quite simple.

maybe I am just old but I don't get the confusion. it could be that I spent a large part of my career in c/c++ and dealing with pointers was just something that I did.
what I used to regularly carry with me on tool belt of code tricks was code for doing smart pointers[^]. this has to be one of my most favorite patterns.

But once you make a smart pointer, they stop being raw pointers and become far less frightening 
The problem isn't the pointers per se, but rather their indiscriminate use everywhere.

No, but they seem to freak a lot of people out.

Yeah, my car's got Rust all over it!
Sorry couldn't resist....

Anyone who designs a modern computer language that shortens "not immutable" to "mut" doesn't get my vote.

Nope, but I think they should have gone a little further and named the language Trust.

OR for a language design to wrap other code they could have called it Crust.

If they're cocky, they could have gone with Struts.
