Also it's not about rewriting, fc00 is a new project. Its is a mesh networking protocol, so performance should be a top priority, do you write kernels in gc langs? So why do you want to write a performance critical software in a GC lang like go?

PS: i thought while i was writing this that fc00 will replace the original c implementation (https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns).

Why haven't you written it in rust?

It wouldn't make any sense to write go-fc00 in Rust, that would just be too confusing.

Maybe you want https://github.com/Randati/cjdrs.

I wanna integrate it into go-ipfs so rust is not an option right now. @chpio I'd be happy if you wrote it in Rust ;)

My hobby:

Compiling lists of instances of rust aficionados asking other people to write or rewrite large projects in Rust instead of the language of their choice

I actually think Rust is a really cool language. I've just noticed that for whatever reason this is a very prevalent meme in the Rust community.

I am, in fact, compiling such a list to support this assertion, and it will be featured on my blag very soon. It will feature an issue filed on @cjdelisle's cjdns repo, so this is something of a duplicate.

That being said, we take issues seriously. @lgierth's requirements for compatibility with go-ipfs are legitimate, and @ehmry's suggestion to check out https://github.com/Randati/cjdrs seems quite helpful.

I've looked into this problem before, and I suggest checking out https://github.com/dnaq/sodiumoxide

I edited the first post, is there a screen shot of this issue (should have taken one by myself before the edit)?
