Huh, Hypercore looks really cool. Any thoughts on the viability of other languages implementing it? Ie, is it small enough that another language could implement the Hypercore protocol (and friends!) and be able to use it? Or is it so huge, don't bother?

I ask because i'm writing a Git-like datastore and am reviewing p2p protocols. My implementation is in Rust, but while there is a beta client[1] of Hypercore, i suspect there's a ton of functionality that i'd need to pull wait on (or implement myself).

How do you see multi-language ecosystems working with Hypercore/Hyperswarm/etc?

There has been some community movement on a rust implementation but it’s pretty big and still a moving target. I might wait a bit still

Hypercore was formerly known as DAT.
