I like the ideas of Rust. As of yet, I prefer GNU Guile. > But that said, GNUnet components can be written > (or re-written) in any language, and certainly Rust (and Go) have some > advantages.

Did anything change regarding that topic? I am thinking about rebooting my work guile bindings. Thanks! Amirouche ~ https://hyper.dev
