I would like to see a life expectancy number that excludes deaths in childhood. A frequency distribution of life span for those born in year X would be a helpful visual.

Do you know of anything like AoC but that feels less contrived? I often spend the most time understanding the problem requirements because they are so arbitrary - like the worst kind of boardgame! Maybe I should go pick up some OSS tickets.

This surprises me. If you want the .NET ecosystem and GC conveniences, there is already F#. If you want no GC and RAII-style control, then you would already pick Rust.
