@abucci Would you believe that Spartan is a fork of Gemini? 🤣

@prologic I thought gemini was intended to be "simplest possible", or close to it?
@abucci I guess the folks at Sparten disagree with some design choices? 🤷♂️

@prologic I thought you weren't using Gemini nor Spartan, and I felt you didn't like the idea of these toy protocols.
Just for curiosity, has that changed this year?
@abucci hmm, I don't think it's the "simplest possible" but a mix between the complexity of HTTPS and the old-fashioned simplicity of Gopher.
I'd say the goals defined here https://gemini.circumlunar.space are well achieved with that spec.
Sadly the TLS part is difficult to achieve on some retro devices and I suppose that's one of the reasons for Spartan.

@eaplmx ah I see, that makes sense.
