Now I’d like someone to explain why there’s openssl and rustls and nativetls and hyper-tls all in the same app toolchain. Is the community drunk? Can nobody decide on a canonical TLS library for this fancy new language? How many CVEs are lurking in this cesspool?

   Compiling rand v0.4.6   Compiling rand v0.6.5   Compiling rand v0.7.0   Compiling rand_chacha v0.1.1   Compiling rand_chacha v0.2.1   Compiling rand_core v0.3.1   Compiling rand_core v0.4.0   Compiling rand_core v0.5.0

This is scary. Is something linking to an older random implementation that’s not so random?

   Compiling sha-1 v0.3.4   Compiling sha-1 v0.8.1

Seems to be taking rust folks a while to figure out how to make a stable sha-1 implementation

“Heh, well we solved the memory safety problems but you’ll never know which version of of the mime type library is actually in the fast path if there’s every a vulnerability”

   Compiling mime_guess v2.0.0-alpha.6   Compiling mime_guess v1.8.7

“Base64 is so complicated we have made dozens of crates for it. Of course they’re not ABI compatible, so we need both.”

   Compiling base64 v0.10.1   Compiling base64 v0.9.3

Are you telling me that Rust apps won’t even work with stable releases of the language? How is this acceptable?
