-------------------------+---------------------------------------
 We've made a pure Go WebRTC port over at [https://github.com/pions/webrtc
 pions/webrtc]. This may provide a viable alternative to libwebrtc.

 ''Disadvantages''
 - We've not done much work on security yet. However, we definitely intend
 to work on this since hardening the security will be a requirement for
 many other use-cases.
 - Not entirely feature complete but this seems less important for your
 use-case.
 - We don't support TURN yet. We currently plan to build this for our next
 release.

 ''Advantages''
 - It is fully go-gettable, fixing the horrible built process. In addition,
 it should run everywhere Go runs.
 - We've tested our data channel implementation against multiple targets,
 including Chrome, Firefox and NodeJS and aim to automate these in the
 future.
 - It will give you more freedom to make changes to the WebRTC stack and
 even allow experimentation, E.g.: to reduce fingerprinting.
 - It may solve/invalidate some of your other problems, including #19026,
 #19315, #19569, #22718 and #25483.
 - We're working on exposing an idiomatic API based on the
 io.ReadWriteCloser.
 - We have an active community and development team. We're more than happy
 to fix any problems that may arise. We're also open to prioritizing any
 features you conciser blocking. Lastly, we have great PR response times.

 I'm also interested in collaborating on NAT testing as mentioned in
 #25595.
