SkyFM VS Pion WebRTC

Doing that for decades.

An app for Windows phone, downloaded 140k times: https://github.com/Const-me/SkyFM

Cross-platform graphics library for .NET: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac

Recently, offline speech-to-text for Windows: https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper

At this point, I consider side projects like that as a hobby.

You don't need any of that to do system programming in C#. Startup time of JIT runtime is not too bad. Similarly, garbage collector is fine if you don't load it too much (neither allocations/second nor bytes/second).

Here's my almost decade-old open source code which works for hours allocating very little (the process gets killed by the OS if exceeds 11MB of RAM): https://github.com/Const-me/SkyFM

Here's somewhat similar modern code, also multimedia related: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo

Once I wanted to listen internet radio on my windows phone: https://github.com/Const-me/SkyFM

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

See https://github.com/sipsorcery/webrtc-echoes for examples of some running against each other.

I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com

Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Don't try to make RTC yourself, it looks easy, but in fact, it's a really hard problem to solve. Use https://pion.ly/ it's a pretty solid package they also have a discord/slack channel with a lot of helpful people there.

Maybe you can reuse some of this code: https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/examples/data-channels/main.go
