I think that’s actually a very positive sign. This is a mesh network made by radio people, not a mesh made by networking nerds. Now that it’s mature, they are doing a rewrite in C++.
Hit me up on some of the nomad network bulletin boards.
Network replacement. The reason this comes from left field for us meshnet tech peeps is because while we have been looking at gnunet and thinking about things from the network side, the radio heads have been building their own mesh nets for ages, and this is the current cutting edge. Same social space behind LoRA.
While we were building from the top-down (ie. trying to start with the singular project), these people started from the bottom up, and got a lot farther. Growing out of radio networking protocols.
This gives them a very fresh perspective, which is why their solution is so elegant and simple. None of that fancy math bullshit that requires heavy calculations.
Slrpnk and lemmy in general is just a bunch of yuppies.
