...instead of hard-coding it to 20. - This is consistent with the ChaCha implementation - NaCl and libsodium, that this API is designed to interop with, also support 8 and 12 round variants. The 12 round variant, in particular, provides the same security level as the 20 round variant, but is obviously faster. - scrypt currently uses its own non optimized version of Salsa, just because it use 8 rounds instead of 20. This will help remove code duplication. No behavior nor public API changes. The Salsa20 and XSalsa20 still represent the 20-round variant.
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
