Iroh: A library to establish direct connection between peers

#12Iroh is intriguing. Dumbpipe is magical, and its implementation is easy to understand. I use dumbpipe daily to expose cross-stream (https://github.com/cablehead/xs) stores I run on different servers to my local laptop's `xs` client.

#13This thing is written in Rust. I wanted to use it on an embedded system in Rust (Embassy) using a CAN transport but unfortunately there's neither a no_std version nor a CAN plugin.
Otherwise it looks good.

#14I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you'd lost your route.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely.

do keys have a defined prefix or identifier? e.g., Veilid uses vld0? pkarr uses pk:?

Yeah, no_std is going to be very hard. We need a no_std implementation of QUIC that can be wielded by mere mortals first, which I don't think we'll be able to start on for at least a year.
Right now we can get down to an ESP32, which we think is a decent start.

this would be great to have, but as we rely heavily on quic, we first need an implementation of quic in no_std which is the current biggest challenge

#18lets say if i someone wants to keep using bittorrent dht for peer finding but swap out quic for something else maybe grpc, does the lib support that split clean? asking from a modular embed first tooling pov, where discovery logic needs to outlive or outswap transport depending on deployment

#19Iroh is very cool and their YouTube explainers are pretty great: https://youtube.com/@n0computer I just need good FFI now, which is on the roadmap!
Can't wait to be able to use it in Go or Python :)
