In this podcast we discuss the nuanced complexity behind gun.js, the JavaScript implementation of the peer-to-peer GUN protocol.

The wire spec is simple, and has been ported to other languages in a matter of hours (see https://gun.eco/docs/Porting-GUN ), but the easy-to-use chaining API is exactly the opposite to implement, and not recommended for non-JS languages.

For a primer on this subject, please read the https://gun.eco/docs/javascript page.
