OpenSSL is one of those codebases that isn't so much measured in WTFs per minute as minutes to CANNOT UNSEE.

However, for practical use everything else seems to be worse (with the possible exception of PolarSSL, which is sadly probably screwed politically by its licensing).

So, yeah, it's software, and therefore hateful. And I'm infinitely grateful to the developers anyway because, well, it exists, and damned if I have the time, motivation or competency to do any better.

The asshattery is, I agree, understandable. But it's still asshattery.
