Came here to say exactly this. Since when was being a nerd about consumer preferences?

But then I start wondering if we are just gatekeeping nerddom?

Correct

I guess the Swiss, British, Norwegians, Albanians etc etc are not welcome to participate in this project.

EDIT: In any case this whole thing is stupid. Open source and privacy matters, not country of origin.

Algebraic data types please. When you programme in Haskell, you use them all time, and yet support is missing in so many languages. It's one of the things that makes Swift look attractive to me.

So if I sell project management software for the construction industry, I should pivot to... selling houses?

I guess you don't want kids to go to the beach either, where the standard attire is even more "revealing" ?

the main reasons for my preference are that: gmail/fastmail are simple, I can use from multiple computers easily, have good defaults and most importantly, they almost always work. Outlook users seem to constantly have something broken.

I do realise that i am reaping the benefits of a centralised system, and in the case of gmail, monetised by advertising, surveillance and user lock-in. Probably the ideal for me would would be a self-hosted web client, e.g. Mailcow

Not sure about that, I'll take Gmail and fastmail any day over outlook and evolution

They launched in 2016

This may be too early to ask, but are you targeting a near-v8 level of performance? Or more like quickjs or duktape?
