       @QasimRashid okay qasim, you convinced me. i was about to donate to your campaign.… but i am never again touching actblue. the last time, i ended up fighting relentless agonizing torrents of spam emails and texts. i made hundreds of attempts to opt out, only to be targeted by the next set of jerks. even today, four years later, there is still the occasional spam outburst i have to deal with.so, give me some other way to contribute.

       @john i have also tried many different languages over the course of decades. for the moment, i have settled on dart. it is simple, pragmatic, and runs on absolutely everything (macos, windows, linux, etc). originally i needed to learn it for flutter development, but i have since come to love dart a lot more than flutter. so much so that i ditched python as my automation language, and rewrote everything in dart.https://dart.dev/language

       @john i can tell you what dart got me over python: dependency management! the bigger my python apps got, the more trouble it was to connect the various packages together. you need to write so much boilerplate, which is constantly changing. dart makes this a non-issue, if you do things the way they want you to.
