Choosing a networking library for my game
enet - Golden standard, tested and reliable - Not native rust - Does not seem to be popular in rust turbulence - Readme says it is not stable, but last meaningful commit was 1 year ago - Lacking documentation and examples - Not very popular laminar - Last meaningful release was 3 years ago (ignoring changes that fix typos etc.) - Despite this, everywhere (book, readme) there are mentions that it is under "active development" - Created for Amethyst, which is dead. I am kinda fearful that the same thing will happen to this lib. Tachyon - New and not tested in the battle - Many features that other libraries have planned, Tachyon actually has implemented - Lacking documentation (except for one big readme file), tests, examples Quinn - Big, under active development (daily commits), very popular because web development. - Modular, ability to just use core implemetation: quinn-proto - Do i really need TLS certificates and cryptography for my playing with friends game server? - Stream based, I would need to implement recv/send messages on top of it (not that hard tbh) - Only reliable stream and "unreliable" messages.

For a multiplayer game that will have browser and mobile app cross-platform, with a client-server architecture, what type of server would you set up?

turbulence: A networking layer that provides multiplexed data channels (optionally reliable and bandwidth limited) over an unreliable channel.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing goggles and turbulence you can also consider the following projects:
hashlink - An updated version of linked-hash-map and friends
uflow - A Rust library providing ordered, mixed-reliability, and congestion-controlled data transfer over UDP
webrtc-unreliable - Just enough hacks to get unreliable unordered WebRTC data channels between a browser and a server
laminar - A simple semi-reliable UDP protocol for multiplayer games
quinn - Async-friendly QUIC implementation in Rust
website - Let's Encrypt Website and Documentation
backroll-rs - A (almost) 100% pure safe Rust implementation of GGPO-style rollback netcode.
