lettre VS Exercism - Scala Exercises

To compose and send emails, I rely on an incredible open-source Rust library called Lettre.

This seems to be something the project is looking at. There are two relevant issues: Add raw header support to MessageBuilder https://github.com/lettre/lettre/issues/661

lettre is the mails crate I'm hoping to use soon.

The mailer will be a SMTP provider and we will use lettre for this, however unlike the other connections this one will be private, and we will only expose the email functions we want to run:

Example what I mean https://crates.io/crates/lettre/versions

Hopping on this train: How does it compare to Lettre? (Rust)

I can tell you SMTP in Rust doesn't get enough love, also it's very difficult to get it right https://github.com/lettre/lettre/issues, so It'd be ridiculous to try to put it into the std.

While browsing Github, I found this cool Rust library called lettre. Being a fan of CLI applications and productivity, I quickly made this rust script that lets you send emails, right from your terminal!

Exercism

Nice, this reminds me of Exercism, which I wish was more widely known since they seem to be good folks. (disclaimer, I donate to them)

https://exercism.org/

Exercism, the free programming learning platform has initiated a challenge named: 48in24.

Last year, Exercism put together the #12in23 challenge. The goal was to learn a new programming language each month throughout the year. I was one of 135 people who completed the challenge, and I learned a lot along the way!

The list of languages contains every language on Exercism, excluding ones that I've used before, web languages, or ones that I can't download for some reason.

Learning by doing, with the help of mentors. Excellent way to learn a next language (as you are already familiar with the programming concepts).

Exercism is pretty good for beginners with some programming language, they are open source and worth contributing to.

> it might be more sustainable if courses were stored in a version controllable medium to facilitate multiple collaborators

My initial thought was to actually use GitHub to store the content. Either on Markdown or JSON - to have some version control. I like how Exercism [1] does it. But I thought it would be hard for teachers - unfamiliar with Git - to update lessons.

Then, I thought about implementing a version control system for the project but I felt I was overcomplicating things for an MVP. But I like the idea of having some kind of version control to improve collaboration.
