What's your reservations about it being implemented in nodejs? It's not my favourite technology stack either (I much prefer scala / haskell), but it hasn't deterred me from using it or contributing to the project.
I wonder if a security review is something that can be funded through the open collective that is being set up (https://opencollective.com/secure-scuttlebutt-consortium https://opencollective.com/secure-scuttlebutt-consortium ) or some other funding source.
By the way, the repositories that I mentioned earlier for the Rust implementation of the protocol in progress are mostly here:

- Rhapso 9y agoI have issues with js as a language but those are not security issues. My security-related issues are with the nodejs package infrastructure. https://www.csoonline.com/article/3214624/security/malicious-code-in-the-node-js-npm-registry-shakes-open-source-trust-model.html https://www.csoonline.com/article/3214624/security/malicious... The sprawling dependencies alongside potential security/breaking issues are huge. It is a large and vulnerable attack surface.
