As someone who extended the ASN.1 parser in the Netscape code base to handle PKCS#12 and at one point knew more about RSA standards and varios ASN.1 definitions than anyone should, I respect the blog owners diligence and masochism.

It would not be the project I would pick out to learn D.

War story or nightmare? The asn.1 parsing in Netscape was an interesting beast. I also added some to a VPN I worked on while at another company.
