+ Tor consists of two parts: the application and a distributed network of a |
|
| 1319 |
+ few thousand volunteer relays. Information about these relays is public, |
|
| 1320 |
+ and made up of documents called <b><a href="https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html#what-is-a-descriptor">descriptors</a></b>. We have |

+ Stem is the most feature rich but slowest, and conversely Zoossh is fastest |
|
| 1332 |
+ but limited. But what if Stem used CFFI bindings to do the heavy lifting in |
|
| 1333 |
+ Go? Could we unify these libraries, getting the feature set of Stem with |
|
| 1334 |
+ the performance of Zoossh? |
