## Chotto {#chotto}

----

Chotto is an initial tagging script for Notmuch written in Ruby.
I aim at creating a powerful yet readable DSL to help with incoming mail management.

There already exist a similar, perhaps better, solution ([Afew](https://github.com/afewmail/afew)), but I don't think it is flexible enough.

## Why? {#why}

I tried the alternatives, but they mostly don't work.
Say what you will about Python community, they don't care about breaking changes.

I, on the other hand, live on Ruby &amp; Ruby on Rails and therefore love me some nice APIs.


## Name {#name}

Naming is a terrible thing to do, because even the greatest name becomes annoying after a while.
Case in point: Chotto means "A few" in Japanese. Ruby's creator, [Matz](https://matz.rubyist.net/) is Japanese so why not?
