Just a thought : A crate could supply a `Range` type that let users set associated `const`s. If associated `const`s to a `struct` allowed the sugar of being treated as...

Aren't the new traits sufficient for this? https://github.com/arkworks-rs/algebra/blob/master/ec/src/scalar_mul/variable_base/mod.rs#L12

We want to do basically this in polkadot to have fast elliptic curve host calls from WASM. We'll build wrapper types around the arkworks curve types, which then implement the...

As an aside, rand avoided hooks in part for performance but also for security so that malicious dependencies could not corrupt the randomness. I guess these hooks are less of...

You'd want non-generic per curve hooks, no? Also Miller loops?

Cool @mmagician might've looked at wrapper type set ups by now, not sure. As I said above, the only annoyance is that users need a bit more genericity in their...

We'll have niche blockchain adoption for "snark languages" I guess, but if you want crypto performance of the sort desired by say the IRTF then imho full snark languages face...

Afaik we should do O(1) deletion below any node, not merely at child tries. We discussed trie write-locks for runtime multi-threading too, but they too should happen anywhere, not just...

I have not tracked the recent changes but yes we should simplify the code when possible. We do however want solid key management to be explained well, be user-friendly, and...

It's less "deprecate" than "unify" I think. Afaik, there are basically negligible differences between the controller and stacking proxy, so they could be merged once someone figures out how to...
