Constant-time arithmetic operations

You can write practically non-allocating code in Julia, but there are no facilities for ensuring this in a verifiable way.

Why would you want to ensure it though? What is the problem with allocations that are not data-dependent?

@Tamas_Papp

I think that using Julia for practical crypto (with a moderately well-equipped and motivated adversary ) is dubious.

I am still unclear as to why, besides the problem I expressed in my open post.
