I was considering doing this in Rust, a language I am more enthusiastic about. Just to make sure I wasn't reinventing a wheel, I did a little search for doing cross-platform AppleTalk with Rust and someone published a WIP project *yesterday* that does exactly this! https://github.com/FeralFirmware/TailTalk My goal, I think, is to be...
