Sending messages though from a server to a room was more difficult than I expected. Java SDK didn't build and many of the other languages were alpha too. Go seemed favored but I dont really want to install. Is there a recommended simple command line app or script to send messages?

What do you mean ?
If progressively more governmental communications are made through encrypted means, we cannot access them as citizens.
Will this make end-to-end encryption finally get the polish it needs?
well, this is what scares me. because, the conversation may be encrypted (protocol, packets), but still messages can be accessible by the powers that be through variety of means. especially considering they "forked" it, who knows what they will do with it (log keystrokes, take screenshots, in the disguise of diagnostic reasons?). anytime you are reading a message from your app, or sending a message, the app have all…
We understand the whole project is going to be released entirely open source (other than the operational bits)
– development is well under way and an early proof of concept is already circulating within various government
entities.
I tried matrix/riot out, looks perfect for me and app is slick. Sending messages though from a server to a room was more difficult than I expected.

which java sdk did you try?

curl? O:-) Matrix is intended to be simple enough that you don’t even need an SDK unless you really want one. which java sdk did you try?
I used the Java SDK from Kamax that was on https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now.html. would be nice if there are others.
I'm excited about it though - is just what I've been looking for.

Do you feel like WhatsApp is not polished?
I don't know much about Matrix or Riot.im (from what I remembered, it was a implemented IRC alternative), but if it delivers on all of the above (and the article sure sounds like it), then it's definitely polishing up some final features that were still missing!
Do the French make their own hardware? An encryption app is useless if you don't 100% trust the hardware. Tainted hardware could figure out, log and send your keystrokes from screen taps/swipes all from silicon.
This is better that it was before. More security is better. Perfect security does not and cannot realistically exist for a complex system.
I do think have a reproducible binary would be a huge win. Even if you can't verify the integrity of a single build you could verify that build by consensus.
