Written in … Java!

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Jokes aside; very cool.

Java is actually good as a programming language and platform. It's actually great for this usecase because it's fast enough, has enough talent pool, and is high level enough to enable creating new complex stuff. Rust and cpp are too low level to enable simple creation of complex stuff. That's why we mostly se rust rewrites and less original ideas. The only problem might be the oracle licensing stuff for such project. I know you're joking tough.

There's a version written in C++: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd

Who is this meant for? As far as I can tell, the original Java version has many more features.

(Also, nice profile picture)

It seems to be more lightweight than i2p. Also possibly for Java haters.

(And right back at you)

Also a rather new rust implementation https://github.com/eepnet/emissary

Shit I didn't even know that existed, thanks!

Using I2Pd very sucessfully on my node. Can recommend!
