Six times faster than C

  the official Rust and C implementations of the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function

  

Many people will argue that today's compilers are so smart/optimized that you'd be a fool to try to outsmart the compiler with asm. I'm not 1 of them, but I know some. IMO it's all a bunch of bullshit, there's a goddamn reason all the cryptocurrency mining CPU/GPU code is all hand-written asm. there's a reason blake3 is written in asm ( https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/blob/master/c/blake3_sse41_x86-64_windows_msvc.asm ) - but the thing is, 99.99% of the time, life is too short to outsmart the compiler (unless you're Alexander Yee)

  An easy to use, easy to deploy crypto library

Compilers don’t find all the optimisations. Last time I saw this was when someone noticed that my code was 5% slower than the reference implementation. This patch fixed it.
