This is so elegant, Rust really was built for this kind of software.

[joshka]

rand 0.9 came out the other day and this will break that first line until iron updates to take that into account. In the meantime, use rand 0.8.

as a long time backend dev i've always wanted to make the jump into p2p and rust, so this video is a dream come true! great work number computer people

[andrewiglinski]

Dawg... my new favorite channel... like instantly.

[claasdev]

I like your way of finding the middle between rust for beginners and explaining iroh for people that are familiar with rust

[michaelhaasl]

Great introduction! Thanks for your effort.

[yoman]

Thank you dude, it was a really smooth journey, you explained all that was required, made us read docs...thats cool..I learnt so much about p2p and networking in one video, i reasearched some more topics...I dont know rust but you made it so easy for us to follow. thanks.

[themannyzaur]

this man wants me to rewrite my p2p terminal sharing program from go to rust
maybe I should learn rust

[MTH-GENIUS]

My friend, your YouTube channel is amazing. Please keep up the good work! <3

[moshyfawn]

Ay, it's nice to see Zed pop up in a random video YouTube threw at me due to me writing some Rust Voip stuff 🔥

[Valeriooooh]

What a great video, exactly what the doctor ordered :)

[antonkot]

Know nothing about Rust, but you are a good presented. Cheers !

[hangyakuzero]

Note that you need rand 0.8.5 in cargo toml for this to work, 0.9 will throw an error

[HaramPoliceHQ]

Yooo ! building same project your video is really helpful for streamlining my idea ❤

[O-]

Amazing, really! I wish you would implement voice chat with webRTC one day

[runicas]

Amazing project and excellent demo! In following along, I encountered a one or two issues that I've not been able to debug myself. I'm not sure if it's PEBKAC, or an actual bug somewhere in the stack. Is there a forum, group, subreddit, etc specific to iroh that I can post my question(s) in for support?

[sundayg]

This is amazing! Next do a video on iroh blobs. Specifically on file sharing use case

[markg]

That's an awesome video! I learned a couple rust things! I'm looking at the example code and given that signing is possible, end to end encryption is possible too. Sweet! Something about the connections. does Iroh have some form of verbose but friendly connection history? What i'm curious about when making a p2p connection is knowing if i'm actually having a p2p connection or if my data is routed trough "a relay" because a p2p connection couldn't be made directly? An example would be anyone behind a CGNat, which unfortunately, makes hole punching near impossible and some ISPs sadly start using that more due to IPv4 shortage (and them being lazy on getting IPv6).

[christophersahyouni]

Hey, any chance you were planning on making content about libp2p? It doesn't seem like the easiest library to become familiar with, but would love to see your take on it.

[cookiekoekje]

your title says "from scratch" yet you use iroh
