Hyperdrive and Dat are compatible with each other but hyperdrive is able to make more lower-level decisions. Dat presents a user-friendly interface and ecosystem for scientists, researchers, and data analysts. + +## How is Dat different than IPFS? + +## Is there JavaScript implementation? + +Yes, find it on GitHub: [dat-js](http://github.com/joehand/dat-js). + +## Is there any non-persistent JS Dat implementation? + +Not yet. Want to work on it? Start here to learn more: [dat-js](http://github.com/joehand/dat-js). + +## Is there an online dataset registry, like GitHub? + +Yes, but currently under heavy construction. See [dat.land](http://github.com/datproject/dat.land) + +## Is there a desktop application? + +Yes, but currently under heavy construction. See [dat-desktop](http://github.com/juliangruber/dat-desktop) + +## Do you plan to have Python or R or other third-party language integrations? + +Yes. We are currently developing the serialization format (like .zip archives) called [SLEEP](/sleep) so that third-party libraries can read data without reimplementing all of hyperdrive (which is node-only). |
