magic-wormhole.rs

I saw some time back that a productionalized attempt came out: https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs The one I mentioned was much more primitive, meant as a demo (you can look at the branches for different approaches): https://github.com/estebank/rusticwormhole

Just noticed by coincidence there's also: "Rust implementation of Magic Wormhole, with new features and enhancements": https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs

> if you want a non-Python runtime for some reason [...] Magic Wormhole project has its own alternate implementation https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole.rs, which is also used by delightfully designed GNOME and Android apps; [Warp](https://apps.gnome.org/Warp/), and [Wormhole](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.heili.wormh...), respectively.

> Downloading 3GB of dependencies is not a thing that happens in the Rust ecosystem. Reality is orders of magnitude smaller than that. Assuming they're talking about the built size of dependencies that are left lying around after cargo builds a binary, they're really not exaggerating by much. I have no difficulty of believing that there are Rust projects that leave 3GB+ of dependency bloat on your file system after you build them. To take the last Rust project I built, magic-wormhole.rs [1], the source code I downloaded from Github was 1.6 MB. After running `cargo build --release`, the build directory is now 618 MB and there's another 179 MB in ~/.cargo, for a total of 800 MB used. All this to build a little command line program that sends and receives files over the network over a simple protocol (build size 14 MB). God forbid I build so
