Relation to cryptohash? #2

Closed FranklinChen closed 9 years ago

FranklinChen commented 9 years ago

Maybe there should be a note about the relationship of Cryptonite to CryptoHash https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-cryptohash especially because of overlapping module namespaces?

vincenthz commented 9 years ago

I haven't manage to outlines those things yet, but a post is coming really soon about this.

Basically cryptonite is a superset of cryptohash, I plan to maintain cryptohash for longer than other of my crypto packages, but eventually, I don't think anyone should use any other packages anymore now.

Does that answer your question ?

FranklinChen commented 9 years ago

Yes, that answers my question. I think the confusing thing right now is the namespace clash, while many packages already use cryptohash. I guess I will plan to use Cryptonite for anything new.
