> Cool! One thing that confused me, though, is why they used the inet.af import path. I get that it looks cool, but it'd be better if they just used tailscale.com for everything.

Why would it be better to use tailscale.com?

It has nothing to do with Tailscale. It's just an IP address.

A neutral package name seemed best.

Love the redirect from inet.af to the POSIX socket spec, nice easter egg :)

AF for Address Family, common in socket-y things

I read it as "Internet as fuck"

It's that too, just by happy coincidence :)

This should point to AF_INET flag which you pass when creating a socket, and means that the address family is the internet (IP) address, as opposed to e.g. a domain socket, or some other transport.
