I honestly can't make out if the author is trying to be serious or sarcastic. For instance: "We follow in their Chukka-booted footsteps by challenging the comforts of the ubiquitous Transmission Control Protocol and recognizing the well-deserved renaissance of artisanal protocols built on UDP. We didn’t start this fire, we’re just calling it what it is: the NoTCP movement" I'd admit to being too dumb to parse the exact sentiment behind that paragraph. Though it does sound somewhat like sarcasm to me. Then in the rest of the paragraphs, he actually goes on to make a pretty good case of why one might want to get rid of TCP (especially from under the complex beast that HTTP/2.0 is with it's own flow-control, multiplexing etc.) For what it's worth, I wrote my own manifesto against using TCP in all cases a few weeks ago. But this one is geared very specifically towards the needs of mobile native apps. https://packetzoom.com/blog/ https://packetzoom.com/blog/
