Building something cryptography related?
Something Nostr related, but got to do the plumbing first. Will most likely only be out next year, as I need to architect it well and I am in no rush :).
Awesome, good luck! Rust is great for cryptography stuff, btw have you tried Zig?
Rust seems unfun. Zig seems cool.
They have completely different vibes. I wanted a solid language for low-level tasks, and Zig seems to be the closest match. I love how simple it is-nothing mysterious happens behind the scenes. Its memory management is straightforward and flexible. Rust, on the other hand, always keeps me on my toes. Maintaining it is even more painful.
Zig also has comptime, reminds me of a more explicit version of D's CTFE. I enjoy D a lot.
