Awesome, was hoping for something like this ever since reading up on QUIC. Looking forward to experimenting with it, TCP just hasn't kept up with today's internet and QUIC looks like a well designed replacement.

EDIT: My enthusiasm may have been a bit premature, the src/ directory is 325MB (!). Seems like it still has a lot of Chromium dependencies and isn't quite as standalone as something like libutp.

Lot of cross platforming stuff in there.

also checkout https://devsisters.github.io/goquic/ if you want a sample project using go.

Looks like the go bindings are made from a separate libquic project at https://github.com/devsisters/libquic which looks a lot more streamlined than the Google one at 14MB.

Looks like HTTP/3 will be here sooner than the last ice age between HTTP releases ;).

QUIC is replacement for TCP, not HTTP.

Looking forward to seeing nginx gain QUIC support one of these days

Still lacking a scalable server implementation, though.
