"The last thing the world needs is another immature SSL/TLS implementation"

Are you saying we should live forever with the established SSL libraries?

The only way software can mature, is to write it, release it, ship it, fix it, repeat.

Implying you have the resources to do so correctly. Which was the issue with OpenSSL.

Completely unrelated but:

https://tls.mbed.org/

Another small footprint ssl/tls library, very readable code and a pleasure to work with.

I'm not sure that was the issue with OpenSSL. According to the libressl folks the OpenSSL team were spending massive amounts of time on FIPS support at the expense of known serious issues the OpenBSD team had raised.
