Playing with dropping the gVisor netstack (userspace TCP, etc) into so a pure Go program running in userspace (with no special OS/kernel/modules) can basically do all the Tailscale things (at least a bit slower) in limited envs.
It's coming alive! Mwahahaha.

"Because Netstack was designed and implemented to be modular, flexible and self-contained, there are now several more projects using Netstack in creative and exciting ways."

Yeah but they don't like it. I'm not sure whether their dislike for Go or for Netstack came first but they're related.

Go has substantial overhead for the use in gVisor / Netstack but that doesn't seem relevant to them.
I don't get why they would have such a major issue with it when they happily use C++. Dart used to be a horrible language too and they've completely changed it to make it decent.
