I'd suggest Rust continue its current policy of keeping crypto out of
stdlib.
However, it'd be nice if there were an official "blessed" crypto package
(using TBD packaging system). I think this library should/needs to be
shipped with said TDB packaging system.
Perhaps Mozilla could loop in its NSS people on rust-nss?
I don't think it's possible to make a nice NSS binding because it
depends on thread-local initialization. Green tasks may move between
threads so a context object is necessary. Other libraries don't have
this problem and a nicer interface can be exposed.
What's wrong with a context object? Rust supports OO method dispatch
syntax, so context objects look and feel quite idiomatic.
