@cariad asked:
Follow up question to the rust compiler one: should I roll my own cryptography? Note: I said "cryptography" and not "crypto" because of the worst human beings.
may as well, what's the worst thing that can happen

NOTE TO USERS: DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS

I absolutely recommend you try to roll your own cryptography! You can learn a lot and we need more people interested in the study!

You won't be able to use your custom algorithms to protect anything, but that's OK! Learn how its broken, how people have fixed these issues elsewhere, and make cool shit!
