I wish it had support for a system similar to webrtc's offer and answer SDP messages.
From what I see, relay servers are doing a job that is equivalent to Stun + Turn + SignalingServer in WebRTC.
This is great for simplicity, but having Stun Turn and Signaling live in the same server would make it harder to secure.
For example, since in webrtc signaling is up to the user, it is most common to have signaling implemented as a web server, this allows you to have it behind cloudflare with the signaling server ip never exposed to the internet. If you are not interested in supporting turn, there is plenty of public Stun servers that can be used and Stun itself is a really cheap server to run.
For iroh, it seems if I wanted to self host relay servers I'd be forced to expose their IP to the web which would make them really expensive to run if one wanted to make them DDoS proof.
> I would be personally a little disappointed if Typst replaced LaTeX, but until that happens, I definitely hope that it continues to do well.
I'm curious about why you'd be disappointed. Is it because you think typst is an irremediably inferior technology to you or is it because you are invested in LaTex?
I do not mean to ask this in accusatory way. I'm not very well informed about typst or tex (I've only used typst once and I thought it was easy and nice).
I'm just curious about what is worse about typst that would make someone disappointed if that was the reason why you would be.
They differ in a similar way to how React differs from SolidJS.
In react when state changes the component functions that depended on that state are rerun to compute what the component should now look like. Then react diffs the new output with the previous to touch only the parts that changed in the DOM.
In solidjs the component function runs only once (when the component is instantiated), when state changes signals will trigger and cause the specific parts of the DOM that depended on them to change. This is generally more efficient.
