I'm glad the dat cli is still working for you. It's on an older protocol codebase and won't be maintained, the hyp cli is meant to replace it going forward.
Is hyper going to replace dat as an advancing network protocol? Is peer discovery different, or did hyperdrive change...or...?
(I am very confused about dat/hyper efforts, as I've been following it a bit over the last year)
I've seen that beaker changed to hypercore/hyperdrive...so my current assumption is that the hyper protocol is the web browser effort, rather than the other parts of infrastructure.
Are there incompatibilities in both protocols, or is hypercore trying to refactor its codebase in order to say, remove legacy dependencies that might not be necessary anymore?
The changes included a switch to a DHT for peer lookup and data-structure reworks that improved speed and scaling by quite a bit.
Similarly, it seems the protocol supports keeping around all versions of the hyperdrive, but it looks like that isnt made available via the cli. Is this correct?
