Personally, I can't wait for some crazy bastard to write a Gemini

server in Motorola 68000 assembly for the Amiga.

TLS will certainly create interesting challenges. (Unicode, too.)

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

There also exist a unicode library called Ucode[2]. But since I discoveredit 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 hoursevery 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 startedto write a gemtext parser (ASCII only at first, then Latin1 characters inUTF-8) in the hope I can add enough features to eventually call it a geminiclient.

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