As I said, it'll be in C++, Go is great, Rust too, but I just can't get used to their syntax :D

Once I saw OpenSnitch I decided to write my own in Rust (mostly as a learning experience for myself)[1] -- it's still obviously WIP as it doesn't even filter packets yet! My intention is to make it have a remote API so that policy decisions aren't done in the daemon but are done in swappable clients.
