Yes, I do not know much about nuts and bolts and GO is not the language I am used to. My prime choice is Java, which is probably the most portable language I am aware of. And it is a well designed language and is superior to C in many respects. As far as notation goes, switching to GO is like looking at the world upside down to me. Yes, you get used to anything eventually, but I found no problems of doing anything I could imagine in Java and interfaces. All these pointer to functions passing functions as arguments is an artificial issue to me, creating complexity where none is necessary. No one forces you to do weirdly complicated things that are not even necessary. You can always find a way to do things in simple and clear way so that your code could be read as easily as a newspaper article.

You know what, why don’t you just write a superior syncthing without unnecessary, weirdly complicated things where no complexity is necessary, in Java? Why are you even going on about all this when it’s so trivial to do it simply and clearly in your language of choice?

I hope at some point you will allow the very idea of public information distribution to be accepted by your mind, instead of standing against it like a rock, and simply look possibly at some state machine architecture or an interface implementation that will allow synthing to work in both modes, public and private in parralel.

I’m a big believer in public information distribution, so please don’t put words in my mouth. However I don’t see why this isn’t perfectly covered by existing technologies - BitTorrent as one example, or for that matter HTTP(S)… Regarding the state machine implementation or whatever, see above.
