MaidSafe Dev Update - February 16, 2017

Some clarity from dev forum

Which is fine but as you suggest the question of how a non-js app will talk to the network is now not obvious. Rationale for using node.js perhaps just naturally follows from its being good for network environments but I’m guessing at the missing link atm…

Can non-js applications interact with node-js in a trivial way??..
This is the closest I’ve come to seeing a route through the uncertainty… GitHub - request/request: 🏊🏾 Simplified HTTP request client. but I don’t know enough if that is a complete answer.

Edit:

Would be good if those are simple libraries, made available to any external call… but is that not the same as having a REST API?
