Why is it that we aren't focusing on putting together good bindings for OpenSSL?
It's all pure functionality, isn't it? Wouldn't it be better to write it in Haskell?
A common problem will be with performance. For some cases, this won't be an issue, but when manipulating lots of data, it can be serious. The reference C implementation of sha1 is quite a bit slower than the tuned one in OpenSSL. But, licensing with OpenSSL is problematic, since it is incompatible with the GPL. Dave
