ANNOUNCE: websocketfs (a modern version of this)

[williamstein]

Hi,

I'm working on a modern version of this, which I need for a product my company is building. See

• https://github.com/sagemathinc/websocketfs
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocketfs

Instead of using the sshfs binary and piping data back and forth, websocketfs using C library FUSE bindings for nodejs, and just directly implements a full FUSE filesystem. This completely removes the dependency on sshfs, and should be more flexible and robust. In particular, you can in theory implement any sort of caching or other neat ideas that you always wished sshfs had, but directly in Javascript.
