Speaking of coding and weekends, a very tangential question: Has anybody considered writing a MTA in Rust? I've been intrigued by its excellent safety guarantees for some time, and it has rekindled my fun in low-level coding (because it's much nicer without dangling pointers and memory leaks). I implemented a postfix policy daemon in Rust to block based on sometimes pretty complex DNS-based conditions (for example, there are rules which detect whether the MX or NS of a sender's domain is in a specific ASN and the localpart follows some pattern), and it performs solidly on a moderately sized mailserver.
