Possibility of WASM version of gnu:net?

[Brendan Miller]

Hi, Martin. I am follow up on our conversation here from a few weeks ago 
about whether gnu:net could be run on mobile devices.

Since then, I have come across this fascinating new demo from the Matrix 
folks (https://matrix.org/) that compiles their Go federated homeserver 
into a WASM version that can be run in browser, essentially turning 
their federated network into a fully decentralized one: 
https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/dip_p2p_matrix/ It is a very 
early prototype, but it is functional.

They are building this on top of a decentralized, encrypted IPv6 overlay 
network called Yggdrasil through an http-over-libp2p connector. 
https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go

While the network is encrypted, I do not think their attention to 
privacy is as deep as gnu:net's is. (Comments?)

That got me wondering if it would be possible to compile gnu:net into 
one or more WASM modules so that it could be swapped out for Yggdrasil 
where privacy was paramount.

I would appreciate any thoughts you would have on a strategy like this. 
It could certainly open up new use cases for gnu:net. Thanks.

Best,

Brendan
