xamlhacker | 5 years ago | on: Purelymail: Cheap email with custom domains, 2FA
No affiliation with the service. Just a happy user. Great UI. 2FA implementation with TOTP, app passwords and backup codes. Custom domains support SPF and DKIM. Very cheap pricing at $10/year for "all-you-can-eat" with some soft limits. Looks like a one-person project but developer has been active with regular updates on the both the service status and issue tracker.

xamlhacker | 7 years ago | on: Introduction to OCaml
I loved OCaml as well but the lack of libraries pushed me to another ML variant: F# on .net platform. With .net core and F# tooling around it gradually maturing, it is a solid cross-platform functional language.
