I mean, that sounds a lot like a “them problem”. Kind of like the people that can’t use grpc because their silly corporate firewall MITM’s the encryption. The rest of us aren’t beholden to archaic IT decisions.

Yeah but if I can go even faster, why wouldn’t I? Quic gives per-sub-stream back pressure, out of the box that’s so useful! No HoL blocking, substreams, out-of-order reassembly, there’s so many neat features, why wouldn’t you want to use it, given the chance?

Means we basically get “user space networking for the rest of us” and that we can run Quic implementations that fit our own applications requirements.
