I’m actually working on the same thing but in Rust. If you ever want to compare notes sometime, give me a shout out.

I’m actually kind of glad the documentation found via google searches (save one collection of Medium articles) has been disappointing. It has motivated me to look directly at the specification which I’ve found to be the most valuable resource thus far.

Oh yeah definitely!

Rust would be awesome but I think I'd want it to be as accessible as possible. Tagged unions and proper error handling would make it much saner though that's for sure.

I was initially going to do it in TypeScript, as the clients that will be interacting with it are TypeScript. Can’t really go wrong either way, but yeah, I’ve enjoyed exploiting Rust’s type system!
Be careful to do the hard stuff in workers, otherwise your throughput will be limited by one core.

Sorry if that's so basic of a consideration that it's insulting, but I've seen it done before.

Which medium collection? I’d like to read to refresh my knowledge
