He did rewrite it to be more flexible. So while you are right, I'm down-voting you for not reading the fucking article ;)

- acqq 16y agoI've looked at his code. He didn't rewrite it, just wrote the wrappers to the API calls to make his usage cases more convenient for him, which is what every beginner would also do.
- rjurney 16y agoHe gave it a sane interface for a broader use case, with sane code that he published. Mission accomplished. Not just complaining.
- acqq 16y agoBut I hope you understand that OpenSSL has order of hundreds of thousand of lines of code (don't make me counting now) and the guy made something like a hundred lines total separated in a few functions which simply call OpenSSL API step by step to do the given task. It certainly can't be said that he "rewrote OpenSLL" and it's certainly not something that gave him any right to feel superior -- he's just a user of the API.
