Unlike Python, Rust is efficient enough and suitable for low level bit twiddling to write fast crypto libraries without using an unsafe language like C.

- cesaref 3y agoSo it's a safety concern, is that what this is about? Safety as in, thread safety that sort of thing? I personally would be more worried about correctness, and so i'm not sure what the win is over wrapping an existing library, like every other language does (ok, there are bound to be exceptions).
- wffurr 3y agoWell yes? Heartbleed? The majority of significant security bugs are memory corruption and data races, both of which safe Rust prevents by design.
