Re:Hard Rust requirements from May onward for all Debian ports by oofbey on Saturday November 01, 2025 @05:22PM (#45785515)
Sure. But assembly implementations by definition are not portable. And I don’t know what it takes to write a formally verified library line this, but I bet it’s very expensive.

In contrast, a rust implementation can be compiled into many architectures easily, and use intrinsically safer than a C version.

Plus cryptography and PKI is constantly evolving. So it can’t benefit from the decades old trusted implementations.
