-    Tor consists of two parts: the application and a distributed network of a

-    few thousand volunteer relays. Information about these relays is public,

-    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

-    <a href="https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html#are-there-any-other-parsing-libraries">three libraries capable of reading these documents</a>...

-    Stem is the most feature rich but slowest, and conversely Zoossh is fastest

-    but limited. But what if Stem used CFFI bindings to do the heavy lifting in

-    Go? Could we unify these libraries, getting the feature set of Stem with

-    the performance of Zoossh?
