Managed languages is one way to go, but they are not really appropriate for performance critical libraries like OpenSSL in my book. You can get safety without being managed in modern languages if the compiler does the safety proving for you (e.g. rustlang).
- l0ngpoke 12y ago> Managed languages [...] are not really appropriate for performance critical libraries like OpenSSL This is complete bullshit. Please cite where you found these results. Even if this was true, since the servers also run openssl, you'd be able to at least run a client at 10x/100x/1000x the speed of the server (because the client doesn't have to have concurrent connections), which would make the "slow managed code" fine for a client.
