uhh rewriting history much? the reason the entire world uses openssl is because it operates correctly.
The judgement here is diluted by exaggerating the worst moments of an otherwise profoundly performant ecosystem. btw- I turned my outward facing servers off for three days for Heartbleed, so .. how to balance a serious development, with the growth of billions of devices working correctly each day for years to get here.
In a previous life I did work on internal proprietary C/C++ code bases and yes, there were ridiculous technical debts, bugs, and missed opportunities right along with correct code, insights reduced to code, and solving hard problems well.
