IPFS Implementation - C++, Any Interest in a C++ Protocol Implementation? #355

Open kevina opened 8 years ago

kevina commented 8 years ago

Is there any interest in a C++ protocol implementation (not just an API client library) either now, or at some point in the future?

I image that if you want to eventually get IPFS into the O.S. you will likely need a pure C implementation (at least for Linux). A C++ implementation might be a good starting point.

If you want to get a protocol implementation into the browsers a C++ implementation might help. It might also help with mobile.

The C++ implementation might be faster than the reference Go implementation.

Since I am just getting up to speed in IPFS I am mainly interested the core developers opinion on this matter.
