I sometimes think network programming is a little hairy and makes p2p apps pretty difficult to make.

I sometimes think network programming is a little hairy and makes p2p apps pretty difficult to make. I wonder what can make it a little easier, like some networked filesystem or protocol... I guess there isn't anything really relevant. I wonder if something like bittorrent or libtorrent, which seems to be a state machine, could be integrated as a kernel module so it can offer a more diverse set of network programming tools. For example I can easily find a CSS, JS, php or ruby framework, but there's nothing like a reliable DHT library. There's not enough demand for it though, but I wish there was.
