The article discusses embedding the Yggdrasil mesh network as a Go library, enabling developers to integrate decentralized networking capabilities directly into their applications. It presents a fork of the original yggdrasil-go implementation that offers better library support and demonstrates a minimal setup for creating a mesh network between nodes. This approach allows applications to communicate over an IPv6 mesh network without requiring a separate daemon process.
Background
Yggdrasil is an experimental overlay network that creates an encrypted IPv6 mesh network, providing stable addressing and connectivity independent of physical location or IP changes. It's typically run as a separate daemon process in the operating system.
