The more I look into the pear stack the more skeptical I get. Most of their hyper packages don't use common dependencies and instead they have their own implementation of low level things like streams...
Not sure why they went with implementing their own versions of things, but Maf and a few others have been at it for a decade. It’s also essentially an extension of his previous projects like webtorrent. He’s just been designing P2P stuff around the DHT model for a very long time. I don’t quite understand the dedication to the append only logs, but for whatever reason, it works, so I can’t knock it that much.
