HTTP2 is yet another in a long series of developments that feel like the corporate takeover of the commons. Sure there are plenty of excellent features in it but they are primarily of benefit to systems doing huge (on lots of dimensions) stuff.
Is this the inevitable path of any technology which has initial promise for enabling individual public expression?
- organsnyder 12y agoMy opinion is exactly the opposite. Large organizations have the resources (person-hours, server infrastructure, etc.) to do all of the hacks required to get decent performance out of HTTP/1.x. Smaller shops aren't as likely to have the time to do domain sharding, sprites, etc.; yes, there are tools and services to do a lot of that work for you, but it still adds complexity.
