It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

this is also true in engineering
I do find it funny how so much male gaze pop culture history about Rome is obsessed with painting them as inspired military geniuses when the real lesson of Roman expansion, including in the Punic Wars, is that military genius ultimately fails against an infinite supply of reliably average soldiers.
what it feels like on contemporary conservative MilTwitter with its obsession on lethality:

open protocols also means a person tied to the government can't use the platform as a closed garden of government pro-regime propaganda because people can pack up their data and go to a new PDS.

Key exchange is a different story: collect-now-decrypt-later attacks might already be relevant today, and the answer is clearly ML-KEM-768 (with a hybrid if available).
Move key exchange to PQC, not signatures.
Unless it takes you > 10 years to roll a key, in which case: SLH-DSA.

NIST released a draft of a non-binding document (IR 8547 ipd) saying they plan to disallow non-PQC in 2035.
2035 is ten years from now, there's no need to rush anything right now.
csrc.nist.gov/Projects/pqc... is still running and large ecosystems are still figuring out what/how to deploy.

Of course thats your contention. Youre a 1st year programmer. You just got finished writin some REST backend, node.js probably. Youre gonna be convinced of that til next month you get to Rob Pike and then youre gonna be talkin about goroutines and message passing and how concurrency isnt parallelism
