- drdaeman 11y agoEwww, that's ages old stuff. Nowadays we use JavaScript. /s
- blowski 11y agoYou joke, but there are lots of Node devs using websockets in simple CRUD interfaces simply because "HTTP is too slow".
- drdaeman 11y agoWebSockets? That's so-o old fashioned. All the cool guys have already switched to WebRTC! Bad news: I'm obviously kidding here, but it's based on a true story.
- wyldfire 11y agoAnd yet it's been improved upon. IMO, SCTP offers a superior set of features. TCP wins on ubiquity and SCTP loses by virtue of not making it past firewalls/routers configured to drop traffic that's not TCP/UDP/ICMP.
- gozo 11y agoUhm. There's plenty of downsides to TCP/IP. It's just very very hard to replace, to the point of not being worth it. Take a look at something like QUIC for an idea of improvements.
