I would love to see open source developers and companies supported because it's not really tenable to replace all the open source we rely on - we probably need 20 million lines of open source to serve a HTML page. If we were actually enabling and empowering open source developers, and especially the people learning, it would be awesome. Enabling people like Torvalds and Stallman to grow into their role of writing stuff that benefits billions of people.
But we can do Hunger Games too. There's no wrong answers.
- mruts 7y agoI dunno, I could do it in 200 of good code in C.
- est31 7y agoIncluding kernel, network driver, etc?
- mruts 7y agoI guess not no, I was thinking of userland.
- est31 7y agoYou can make a simple HTTP/1.1 server in 200 lines of good C. Not one that runs HTTP/3.0 including QUIC and TLS.
- cameronbrown 7y agoHTTP 3 isn't even in production yet.
- xchaotic 7y agoDefine production and define HTTP3. The beauty of open source is that you can be already serving pages using QUIC and TLS1.3 while the standard is being finalised.
- cameronbrown 7y agoA finalised standard was what I had in mind. QUIC, much like SPDY was, isn't more than a Google protocol for only Chrome right now.
- majewsky 7y ago99% of websites do not need anything beyond HTTP/1.1.
