quit spending your time talking about it and write a replacement then?
- jeltz 4y agoWriting a security critical code base like that is not something everyone could or should do. You do not even know if the one you replied to is even a programmer. Should the start university and study computer engineering and then specialize in cryptography and then finally write the library?
- loloquwowndueo 4y agoBut if not a programmer or knowledgeable about crypto they definitely should shut up about how Rust will save us all from all bugs for all eternity :)
- jamespo 4y agoCreated an account 18 minutes ago to lecture everyone to develop in Rust :/
- fredoliveira 4y agoExpected no less from someone named "crablover". If that person isn't going to lecture us all, who will?
- rastignack 4y agoThe first step would be to bless as much as possible of rust-crypto and promote it to Stdlib. I sometimes wish the rust foundation would hire someone who does for rust what Filippo Valsorda does for go.
- IncRnd 4y ago> You do not even know if the one you replied to is even a programmer. The person lectured, "The time is ripe for a Rust rewrite." People who read that comment would believe the author to be a programmer.
- RealityVoid 4y ago> Writing a security critical code base like that is not something everyone could or should do I mean... Why not? I know roll your own crypto is bad, but _someone_ has to do it. Might as well be you! Do it in the open, get feedback, attract high skill people to contribute to it and... Tadam! Cool codebase! I can't shake the feeling that making crypto as this magical thing people show ldnnot dream of is doing a disservice to us all.
