As soon as we have a full port of OpenSSL in Rust, this will be interesting. Talk is cheap; who's going to step up and do the hard work?

I do believe that the right developers, using the right practices, could make a more-secure OpenSSL. But it would be expensive in terms of developer time. Maybe a group with the right experience could crowdfund it?

Another interesting tack is happening in Mirage with a TLS stack written in OCaml.

There's a #rust-tls channel where people who are interested in this congregate, but I'm not sure of their progress.
