There is also another project in Rust, it looks more active: https://github.com/GGist/bip-rs It is a collection of libraries.

Doesn't look vague at all. What do you think is missing from it?

This guy obviously doesn't understand what he is talking about. I would more probably remine the whole bitcoin blockchain on my cpu in a second than this thing happens.

They can but it is their choice not to use GPLv3 tools.

I think people underestimate how low probabilities can really be. According to wiki the shortest self-replicating RNA is 165-bases long. Even if you convert all observable universe in RNA this is still not enough for this RNA to form by chance (4^165 is much larger than number of atoms in observable universe).

Also, is there support for applications without any runtime?

> One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, or attracted much sustained inquiry. In consequence, we have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, we have no theory. I propose to begin the development of a theoretical understanding of bullshit, mainly by providing some tentative and exploratory philosophical analysis.
