Also it takes quite a lot of effort to understand how windows installers work because it’s far from intuitive and you get to learn all those tools that make no sense. This is not something that a person working on project like docker itself for example would want to spend their time on. They’d rather make a script than an MSI.

I was working on optimising Subversion. One of its bottleneck is computing file hashes. First thing I tried was to use OpenSSL for that. It significantly improved its performance. It made it 8x faster in some cases.However, it was not optimal to use it:- OpenSSL is heavy and bloated. It's like a whole operating system on its own.- Since OpenSSL 3.0, low-level digest APIs are deprecated, and...
