- iruoy 5y agoBLAKE3 is written in Rust wile BLAKE2s is written in C. That is probably a lot easier to push through. It also seems to be almost as fast according to the BLAKE3 specs PDF (page 11). https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blake3.pdf https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blak...
- cclearwater 5y agoBLAKE3 has a C implementation including many SIMD implementations. The C implementation only lacks multi-threading which BLAKE2 does not have.

- giantrobot 5y agoWell, the singers might be giants after all.
