@dakami Is it language chauvinism to point out that there are (likely) a lot more unsophisticated JS programmers than any other language?
@dakami @matthew_d_green @maradydd language chauvinism is irrelevant. 99.9% of programmers will use an API like this incorrectly

@bascule@matthew_d_green@maradydd The point is to create a more useful abstraction than pile-o-ciphers, not to care about C/JS -
@dakami@matthew_d_green@maradydd in other words, it should work like NaCl or Keyczar. Current spec is the OpenSSL debacle all over again -
@bascule@matthew_d_green@maradydd You think you get to tell devs what to do. You don't. You can only be useful to them. -
@dakami@matthew_d_green@maradydd I'm saying the spec should have expert cryptographers to make choices so developers don't have to -
@bascule@matthew_d_green@maradydd No, see, you're saying the only thing that should be fast, is what you like. -
@dakami@maradydd *I* don't want to be making those decisions. I want someone like@matthew_d_green making them for me. -
@bascule@maradydd@matthew_d_green We can choose to make existing cryptosystems fast, or only new ones (written to NaCL) -
@dakami@maradydd@matthew_d_green you can do both so long as the API clearly separates what to use for new projects versus legacy interop - 4 more replies
