Fantastic, thank you very much!

I'm curious: why did you choose to implement the core functionality in C instead of Rust?

[mina86]

I figured if I want to use the same code in C it’s easier to have it implemented in C than having to create C bindings for Rust code. Machines which have Rust compiler are most likely also equipped with C compiler where the reverse isn’t necessarily true. And the code is just bunch of arithmetic operations, not a lot of pointer arithmetic or memory allocation, so I figured added safety of Rust isn’t critical.

Thank you, that makes sense.
