 1. Performance: `gnark-crypto` algorithms manipulates millions (if not billions) of field elements. Interface indirection at this level, plus garbage collection indexing takes a heavy toll on perf.
-2. No generics in Go: need to derive (mostly) identical code for various moduli and curves, with consistent APIs
