This dude caused all LND nodes to stop syncing recently with a single transaction costing less than $5 - https://twitter.com/brqgoo. Issues been patched recently. Theres others, will need to dig in order to find again.

the main one i know of btcd is written in Go and sees a lot of use from what I understand: https://github.com/btcsuite/btcd

For the Go code, I modified the code I found online to be able to generate P2PKH address, I believe. I am having a tough time navigating the plethora of functions defined here. I've also looked at the address_test.go to understand if I could get some clue, but I'm having trouble figuring out the intermediate conversions done to the Private Key hex like btcutil.NewAddressPubKeyHash(pkHash, &chaincfg.MainNetParams).

Anyone. Also, there isn't just one implementation of Bitcoin. There are several implementations of the protocol in different programming languages, but they all stick to the same rules. btcd for example is written in Go, while Haskoin is written in Haskell.

Yes, non-rust dependencies can be a pain. We addressed this issue in three ways: 1. Sometimes, it just works™ if the crate has a copy of the C code and uses the cc crate to compile it. It's usually slow to compile C in a build script, but it works. 2. Sometimes, we write a custom BUILD script for direct dependencies and link external libraries by hand. Example: lmdb and lmdb-sys. 3. If all of the above is not an option or is too much work, we add a native library to the Docker container that runs our builds.

One thing that sticks out to me is that, while their code is open source, it has a restrictive license, the Apache License: https://github.com/dfinity/ic/blob/master/LICENSE - most open source projects opt for the MIT License.
