My favorite way to learn CW, and what push me over the top into actually using it, was CW Academy from CWops https://cwops.org/cw-academy/ where you work together with an instructor and other students. Running CW over a Zoom call instead of the radio made it much easier to get into and easier to copy without the QRM and other white noise. They do strongly push for use of a paddle, which I like anyways, but those that prefer a straight key might prefer other resources.

I would mostly say that it's just slow and AES is a much more modern and faster (partly due to hardware acceleration built into modern chips) that is already built info Firefox to support TLS anyways. There are some known attacks against 3DES now, but nothing that completely breaks it yet. And, since this is just for local storage, primarily, it shouldn't be as vulnerable as using 3DES for TLS channel encryption.

Having compile-time RegEx's would certainly fix some issues I've had with them in Python. As they are just buried in plain strings, there's no validation of their syntax until you hit the line of code that tried to use them only to discover that Python 3.12 has changed the syntax and what was once working is now broken. I'd love to see this validated at compile-time/load-time of any language to avoid those unexpected surprises.
