Cool stuff. Thanks a bunch. I agree with you that software optimization takes preference, but I have also seen optimized crypto code in assembly that was completely undocumented and unreadable. I hope that Daala won't fall into that trap.

All functions in Daala have a C version, along with corresponding assembly versions which have tests to make sure that the assembly version matches the C reference.

Given this is funded by Mozilla, I'm surprised its not written in Rust. Any particular reasons?
