Re:A solution for enabling UDP in the web

(#13746347)
Feross, thanks very much for writing simple-peer! I used it to enable a server-cluster that acts as a WebRTC -> UDP proxy for my MMO game written in Golang. I am using electron-webrtc to run it under nodejs, which probably means about a gigabyte of overhead in total, but given the AWC EC2 pricing structure, I was doomed to be paying for more RAM that I plan on needing, so that turns out to be a non-issue for me.
As I was working on getting electron-webrtc running on my AWS Ubuntu instance, it occurred to me that it should be relatively easy (in other words, probably hours of tedious work) to abstract out the dependencies for everything that isn't required for only running WebRTC DataConnection. (I could produce a list of libraries to shim with placeholders. Call it 'drtc'?) If you are willing to give me some pointers, I'm willing to do the scut-work. (Contact info in my HN profile.)
