# FAQ
## Is Dat different from hyperdrive?
[Hyperdrive](http://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdrive) is a file sharing network originally built for dat.
Dat uses hyperdrive and a variety of other modules. 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).
