So they are only starting to be careful after several years? I addressed that point in the post.

It wasn't. But that's the point. Rust wasn't there, it's not there now. It needs to be as portable as C to be "there".

- ghoward 6y ago> No since you’ll get to the “battle tested” point much fastener. I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that a bc will get to a battle-tested state faster than crypto? If you are, I disagree whole-heartedly. Crypto is bigint math with a few extras. bc has bigint math, a lexer, a parser, and an interpreter. Of those, the parser and interpreter are far more complicated than the bigint math. And bc's bigint math is not actually just bigint; it's bigdecimal.
