I noticed WolfSSL has TLS 1.3, its other features seem decent too (1/20
size OpenSSL, ANSI C).
However, I couldnt find any links on Gemini or HTTP concerning any
implementations or tools using it.
Any ideas regarding it?
Would it be worth me developing clients and servers in it? I get the
idea that some of the other TLS approaches have a lot of cruft given
their scale and predisposition to non-Germini protocols and it would
interest me to embed from a bespoke Gemini only compilation.
Would such a project be a ballache?
I think WolfSSL and BearSSL are interesting projects as far as minimal TLS implementations go, but I'd personally like to see more love for stuff like libtls (simple spinoff of libressl with a much simpler API), or Boringssl (extremely well-made TLS lib that also provides the crypto primitives for libs like Rust's ring and RusTLS). Libtls would be an especially good fit for Gemini software.
Outside of the C and C++ world, lots of programming langs also feature pretty good TLSv1.3 libs in their standard libraries; Go has one of the best.
