yes, hence my comment on SML

while it's nice that the rest of the world is slowly waking up to type systems functional programmers have been bleating on about for the past four decades

... having read through the first couple of pages of bc vulns: even a much stronger type system than rust provides wouldn't appear to help very much in this specific example

however if someone wants to rewrite OpenSSL in Rust that would be a massive massive improvement

You mean rustls?

Lacking DTLS at this time, and probably a few other valuable things.
