Noise is a great protocol. It used to actually be only one protocol (when it was first being worked out a few years ago), and I implemented a very shitty version of it then. Since then, it's now evolved to be a set of protocols, and it's much more robust now. (You should be able to rewind the git history and see what changed.)

I've been thinking of trying my hand at something like writing a new implementation of the modern protocol, but I have no need for a truly general one supporting every agreement/primitive set, since I'd rather just implement one, exact Noise protocol. Plus, it'd probably be easier to wait for TLS 1.3 to hit libressl and just use libtls, then. Maybe one day, though...

EDIT: Actually, I remember at one point, I had a early version of the original Noise protocol called "TweetNoise" that I tried to fit into 100 tweets, based on TweetNacl. That was fun. I think I got it finished but never released it. Unfortunately my laptop with the SSD holding that code had its fan die after Christmas, so I can't be sure until next week.

If anyone would like to still do this with the new noise, it'd probably be fun. :)
