Beaker didn't run on my Ubuntu. I opened an issue and was ignored.
I guess Dat is too much JavaScript to be worth it anyway. The tooling and documentation are very poor, most of stuff is outdated. They claim to have a vibrant community but it's mostly two or three guys loving their Beaker browser and caring none about the rest of the world. Perfectly fine for a closed community, but not for a protocol that should be aiming widespread adoption.
