AmiSSL[1] has full compatibility with the latest OpenSSL, requires 68020 or
higher and AmigaOS 3 or higher. The crypto itself would still take a long
time.

There also exist a unicode library called Ucode[2]. But since I discovered
it when writing this email, I don't know if it's usable for such a project.
Keeping up with the new Unicode versions is a project of itself.

While on the Amiga programming topic, I've been spending one or two hours
every Saturday evening (just a few weeks in a row) teaching myself Amiga E.

Inspired by Amiga E's 32 bit chars and AmiSSL for Amiga E[3], I've started
to write a gemtext parser (ASCII only at first, then Latin1 characters in
UTF-8) in the hope I can add enough features to eventually call it a gemini
client.

I wouldn't attempt doing it in M68k assembly, though.
