What makes something a 'blessed way'? Are you looking for community support, large corporate users etc..? Not being snarky, curious about how people see the space. Lots of implementations exist and I have used most of them for different projects, not all these projects went to production though. * https://github.com/elixir-webrtc (Elixir) * https://github.com/pion/webrtc (Golang) * https://github.com/webrtc-rs/webrtc (Rust) * https://github.com/algesten/str0m (Rust) * https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer (C/Embedded) * https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-video-streams-webr...

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc.... When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build! Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :) ----- I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options! * https://github.com/shinyoshiaki/werift-webrtc (Typescript) * https://github.com/pion/webrtc

In WebRTC for the Curious (2020)
Really exciting times for WebRTC in general right now! If you are new to WebRTC and want to learn more about the protocol check out [0] (would love peoples feedback). It is used in lots of unexpected places like streaming (added to OBS)[1] and Embedded [2]. I am especially excited with new implementations popping up like [3] and [4].
