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

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).
