I expect the trouble there would be how the data is chunked. If IPFS disagrees about the chunking we would have different CIDs.
.. also i'd need to implement all of this myself to get it in Rust. Hmm.

- handrous 5y agoNot implementing the core of the protocol in something portable-library-friendly has been a real drag on IPFS. It's made it, in practice, more of a program than a protocol. The counter-argument is that they'd not have made so much progress in the first place, in the short list of languages that qualify as portable-library-friendly.
