It doesn’t paint a very good picture of the matrix protocol. Does the comparison have any merit?

    Dendrite, a Golang program, compiled with WASM to run in a browser to make the browser act like a mini server and thus connect to other Matrix servers. Its honestly a wonder they got that hot mess working at all, and IMHO this will require a complete re-implementation to ever be anything worth considering.

      Please tell me this is a parody. Matrix was already kludgy around encryption and authentication, especially for rooms. And very kludgy in integrating with other protocols.
