What do you mean "IPFS runs on Golang"? IPFS is a protocol that had official implementations in Golang and JavaScript.

I'm glad to see another implementation. After trying to run go-ipfs (no Kubo) for years I gave up. The implemention was incredibly low quality. It had tons of bugs, a very quirky CLI and API, and performs horribly. With any decent amount of data it would thrash like crazy for no clear reason.

I'm really glad to see another implementation. It may bring me back to running my own node.

I happen to like Rust and despise Golang but that isn't a big deal, just raises the chance that I can contribute. The go-ipfs code that I read was low quality even go Go.
