Never thought about using it to block viral infections, but it makes sense: coating the nasal passages with artificial "mucus-like substance" so particles don't reach the membranes. Makes total sense that approach also work for viruses.

Why did cars never get some sort of networking protocol, that would have let them "feel" the speed and bearing of other nearby vehicles and avoid collisions, jams etc?
Something like that could have been implemented with radio tech available half a century ago or even sooner.
> It has been cultivated around the world, making a new home in southern Europe, South America, parts of Africa, the west coast of the United States, and even parts of South-East Asia.

I moved to Australia in 1988. Nobody, not one Australian I know has ever said eucalyptus was a sensible export as live wood, or was suitable for planting like this in these countries. I can't work out who did think this was a good idea.
So the "now there is a debate" thing is like WTF? The first time I heard about wildfire in Californian eucalyptus there was a pretty strong man-in-the-pub debate about what happened. And that was over a decade ago.
When you get stands of gum (eucalyptus) trees, you also get fast spreading tree-top fires since the living leaves of gum burn ferociously. Gum trees in urban areas or non-native areas are bad, bad news.

Not sure its quality, but battling with postfix & dovecot's 20+ years of legacy cruft, I felt compelled many times to just throw them aside and build something like this on first principles - simple single binary mail server with modern protocol support, sans all the archaic UNIX-account timesharing-era sendmail bullshit that still lives on in the mainstays.
Going to have a look at this one, despite now having moderately deep postfix & dovecot knowledge.
