It was really cool! And thanks again Trevor for organizing this.

I said it there and I'll say it here again, one thing I'd like to see
is an extension of Noise that people can implement and use directly to
do things like TLS.
TLS is great for web browser <-> web server scenarios, but for
everything else it is not.
NoiseSocket is not directly implementable, Disco is not that either.
I've done something usable with libdisco (www.discocrypto.com) but
it's not implemented from a specification (just has some key
verification and framing layer on top) so anyone who would want to
interop with me would have to read the code.

by the way, I said during the meetup that I'd like to see a usable
noise extension on top of NoiseSocket. But I guess this is more
specifically an extension of a use case ("something like TLS") that
could be written on top of Noise core OR NoiseSocket.

David
