I kinda share your kneejerk reaction about nodejs for foundational tools, even though I must admit that dat/hyperdrive works surprisingly well for a js tool. But dat/hyperdrive is a well-documented protocol, and there are several ports to other languages. I am very interested in the rust port, but I am not sure in what state it is: https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com/ https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com/ I have seen some tweets about progress being made on this. Does anybody know more?

The rust port of Hypercore has been very active recently and they are making good progress. Part of the latest Hypercore release was to move some of the transport crypto to be easier to port to other languages such as rust. The wire protocol works now: https://github.com/Frando/hypercore-protocol-rs https://github.com/Frando/hypercore-protocol-rs and the community is active in #datrs on freenode
