Ruma, a Matrix homeserver written in Rust

I don't know if you're involved in Matrix's development, but what's the advantage compared to XMPP? I feel like it's bringing a new protocol that - as xmpp - is unlikely to break the massive silos that are Hangout, Messenger, whatsapp etc...

Or am I wrong, and if so what did I miss?

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I'm dreaming to see the end of that fragmentation happening, and I don't want to discourage anyone to address that problem, I'm simply wondering if anything is fundamentally different from XMPP.

Edit2: found a few answers here : https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-differen...

I answered the same question elsewhere in the thread so I will just link to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12028977

Happy to follow up with additional questions, though!
