i2p can rewrite with rust / c / c++（or merge i2p and i2pd project）

[bwdcal]

Hello, i2p developers.

rust / c / c++ performs better and compiles binary without external dependencies, so that it can be easily deployed on cheap vps at scale.

I found a rust implementation of i2p on github (a project called ire), but it seems to be less mature and not maintained anymore.

And rust / c / c++ can create dynamic libraries that can be called or embedded in other language platforms.

java is not well suited for a network underlay like i2p, so I hope to develop a rust version. Or merge the i2pd project to optimize the development effort and resources.

HI

If someone wants to do the job, go ahead!
We stick with the code we do know best, which is java, which works for >20 years well enough.
(and in the end, currently there is no sign of C/C++/rust doing the job better with less ressources as Java is doing)
So no place for a war on coding languages.

I've already begun this and am about to post the repo on the irc git. I was waiting to mention it at tomorrows dev meeting. I'm not big on IRC and only show for important meetings.

good, thanks ;0

hope you can make i2p better.

sorry, i dont want to war on coding languages.

i2p deployments currently rely on a jvm environment, so jdk must be installed. some cheap vps have very few resources, both memory and cpu resources. Therefore, a c / c++ / rust implementation would allow cheap vps and network edge nodes to deploy i2p.

And java's gc is stagnant, which may not be a good option for performance-hungry underlying network programs like i2p.

The above is a personal opinion, for reference only ;0

hi friend.

i2pd is a great program, i like it, but many configuration items are not described in enough detail.

More importantly, lately i2pd has been unable to establish a connection, while i2p barely works. Not sure why.

try setting reseed proxy? or disable NTCP2?

have try, but also not work. I think it's network censorship firewall reason.
