Pretty excited to share this... Just finished up a blog post about the new, simple, secure peer-to-peer networking SDK for zrok.

Build zrok applications with just a few lines of golang!

This is cool. In the early days of go there was a 'netchan' that acted as a Go channel but over the network. It was discontinued because Rob Pike couldn't find a clean design.

There have been many attempts to bring it back in the form of various libraries, but it looks like if properly wrapped in a nice library, this tool could be a great successor.

Excellent idea! Sounds like a great addition in an upcoming release. I'll add a backlog card to explore that concept a little...
