What is hyperdrive and how is that different from dat?

Question

I\'ve been trying to get into dat recently and I\'m wondering about the difference between dat and the hyperdrive module.

Answer 1

2020 Update: Main points From Paul Frazee's Changing to "Hyper" and the future of the Dat ecosystem

1. The dat-protocol is now the hypercore-protocol
2. dat:// URLs are now hyper:// URLs
3. Hypercore-protocol has new governance led by Matthias Buus
4. "Dat" now a "consortium/collective/community interested in all things decentralisation/local-first/peer-to-peer"

Also I've noticed the term hyper* being used to broadly describe the suite of modules/abstractions related to the hypercore protocol (e.g. hyperspace, hyperswarm, hyperdrive).
