Did you ever find an alternative?

I'm interested in a project like this and I'm curious if you found any elegant solutions for this type of thing in the ecosystem?

I created a libssh2 raw binding https://github.com/denoffi/deno_libssh2, but I ran into a problem: the libssh2_session_handshake function expects a socket as a parameter.

int libssh2_session_handshake(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, libssh2_socket_t socket);
//                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
//                                                      HEAR

maybe web can use libsocket https://github.com/dermesser/libsocket

I was thinking i might try the FFI approach with the Rust SSH2 crate next week, does that have potential to solve the issue?

This is the first time I've ever needed to write native code, but with Deno itself being rust i thought it was a natural fit

the library is now supported natively in Deno
