What kind of attitude is that? Why shouldn't someone be proud of themselves, when they manage to implement a crypto library? It's not like they're asking you or anyone else to use it with sensitive data and they're not pretending it's secure or on par with others.

The whole OS is a learning process for almost everyone involved and they have every right to feel proud of every little step they take. Like do you think the best in class crypto libraries out there just popped into existence or their authors wrote the perfect code on their first try? All of them were inferior wheels at one point, and all of them made mistakes and learned from them.

Serenity’s LibTLS is Serenity-specific code.

That is not the libtls you are thinking of. That is a homemade library.

It's impressive how hard you're missing the point of the project.
