@dimkr has been publishing about Guppy, a new smolnet protocol based on UDP. It's interesting for sure:

I posted some feedback on the spec based on writing a toy Guppy client and server.

TLDR: UDP makes things hard. Writing unambiguous protocols is also hard. Reading and commenting on the spec has been a fun experience though.

Thanks for posting! Gonna look into this. Also, is it just me, or does there seem to be some growing interest in UDP? Someone posted about their comms program also using UDP... Take a look! gemini://gmi.noulin.net/tinylog/log.gmi · 2 months ago
