What's your reservations about it being implemented in nodejs? It's not my favourite technology stack either (I much prefer scala / haskell), but it hasn't deterred me from using it or contributing to the project.

I wonder if a security review is something that can be funded through the open collective that is being set up (https://opencollective.com/secure-scuttlebutt-consortium ) or some other funding source.

By the way, the repositories that I mentioned earlier for the Rust implementation of the protocol in progress are mostly here:
