The choice of Cap'n Proto seems odd to me

https://veilid.com/framework/rpc

It is an interesting project, but I'm sceptical. Veilid appears to be focused on their implementation in Rust, not so much as reference implementation but as the thing itself. I was hoping for a W3C like definition of a standard, not "bound" to their implementation or Cap'n Proto.

I'm curious how this will deal with carrier grade firewalls and NATs. I can't run torrent client on my phone for this reason and I have hard time seeing how anything P2P is going to work on user hostile ISPs

Probably the way syncthing deals with NAT.

I actually suggested Syncthing team to implement something like this few months back but they were not interested.
