Sure, but doesn't that end up being more complex than web sockets to implement correctly? And keeping one connection then we're in the same spot regarding the scaling issues as with web sockets right? Or does plain TCP/IP have better support for changing endpoints mid-flight, reconnections and etc? Although if so I don't understand why there was even the need to come up with Websockets? I personally would love to see a simplification of technology all across OSes, web, etc, but probably there's too much out there to provide a reasonable migration path... It sometimes feels like those projects that you work on in the beginning and then you look at, some years down the line and say, this needs a refactoring with all I've learned in the meanwhile regarding what I'm doing and regarding my understanding of the domain space - but sometimes you can't do it, doing it might not go well or you'll end up in the same place afterwards.
