NDK will not scale.
NDK will soon be obsolete.
The death of NDK will show many how bad a lot of the current infrastructure running the nostr protocol is.
he excuse is that it was first is not applicable. Bad code that stays bad is inexcusable. Bad code that is improved is perfectly acceptable.
NDK is bad code that has stayed bad and this continues to be a detriment to the consistent introperability of all things Nostr.
Next gen nostr is already here. It is growing. It is VERY exciting.
For anyone reading along, my PR will be a merge conflict hellscape because I got rid of the NDK and Nostr-Tools dependencies, so that we can then start to switch the middleware out with #Aedile, and crank up the performance, by moving closer to the hardware.
