Tangential, I think adding support of http://webtorrent.io/ by bridging webtorrent peer with bittorent peer would greatly increase/revive the popularity of the protocol
exatorrent supports webtorrent peers already
That's great news! Is it designed to reusable as a library, for example to build a peertube native desktop client?
You can use
https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent
for those cases.
