- smokey_circles 4y agoI can't imagine there's much benefit to it or that the goal was to be better than the existing inter-session tools in Linux. But I built an ssh server in go once, which was a fun way to learn the deeper features and flows of the SSH protocol. I think it's cool to see someone else doing something similar. Like affirmation that my curiosity (and maybe some stumbling too) is something worth cultivating
