'hehe, malai, wonder if they know' -- 'oh, kulfi, ok they definitely know' -- just a fun quirky name, or an analogy I'm missing?

malai: cream that forms on top of milk when it cools down, its a flavor of kulfi. kulfi: a milk based ice cream / desert. Nothing to do with networking etc, just a desert I enjoyed since childhood :-)
malai also means mountain in my mother tongue Tamil and I am named as malai.
Nice naming of your projects. It just caught my attention :).
Yep, just wondered if there was some analogy/joke like malai is the layer on top and kulfi is.. I don't know, the rod that connects A to B or something (that's nonsense, but that's why I was asking!)

Anyway, project seems great and all, but I'll wait for pista. :)

Since its built in Rust, we can call it rus(t)-malai also :-)
Ha! Very good.
