Mathias has done some really interesting things with the BitTorrent protocol and Node.js and friends. I just saw his talk from JSConfEU last year and found it pretty fascinating (http://2014.jsconf.eu/speakers/mathias-buus-madsen-javascript-torrents-and-mad-science.html http://2014.jsconf.eu/speakers/mathias-buus-madsen-javascrip...). The applicability for this type of technology does seem a lot greater than what it's traditionally been used for.
