Years ago I tried I2P to test the limits of anonymity it can provide. It’s sad that it doesn’t seem to have much funding, because it’s far superior to Tor by all means. The guys worked really hard on the theory before implementing it. Still, the UX of the router was really bad. It really needs a standalone binary to work flawlessly and performantly across all platforms, not to mention the need for a GUI which doesn’t require you to know many technical concepts beforehand. Current router is written in Java, and I hoped i2p-rust would catch up, but it seemed a half-dead project.

However, I would say that Rust/Go already moving out of the spotlight for that purpose. For the hype we'd look towards Zig or Nim or something I've yet to hear.
