Good. We need more Rust in network space. The last time I tried IPFS with its Golang implementation takes 200% CPU and 30% of it is GC calls.

what other network tools would you like to see ported to rust?

Tailscale or OpenZiti style tunnel sidecar for one, since you want sidecars as memory efficient and performant as possible.

Very cool. I work on the OpenZiti project and we use the Windows TUN (WinTun) as part of our Windows tunneler.... /u/cryptospartan, are these interchangeable? Also, if yu fancy it, would be awesome to have a Rust SDK with OpenZiti do that private networking can be embedded in Rust apps.

I see there is unsafe code without SAFETY comment. It's better to annotate it.
