A few weeks ago Seneca announced that he and bzee would restart, and not wait for the API.

Shortly after bzee started working on the API itself. We are considering to implement the Project Decorum protocols in Rust first anyway, and then later port it to a browser app. It should result in a cleaner/clearer reference implementation and maybe allow us to compile parts from Rust to WebAssembly later. That should improve both security and performance.

Although it isn’t merely a consideration anymore, we’ve started working on a rudimentary Rust implementation, aiming to make it a minimum viable product. @bzee also has a pull request open for improvements to the rust API, but this needs more input/feedback from MaidSafe and they understandable prioritize stabilizing the testnet for now.
