Not that new anymore, right? It's at least 6 years old.

by the original comment logic, everything that is older than 1 moment is not new anymore

I wrote my comment, because I had to recheck if this is the same Yggdrassil I've read about 5 years ago. When I read about a new thing I also wonder will it be more popular in the future, and knowing it's already many years old reduces the chance of explosive growth in the future. At some point things just... stop being new.

I didn't mean to be mean to you, but in terms of network protocols something can be a new approach for a while, especially if others are still trying out. What is it compared to? TCP/IP is past 50 years old.

Then again, I agree with you: it wasn't created yesterday.
