    One of the interesting patterns happening in Rust is io-less libraries. I'm not sure where best to link this phenomenon. It here s a open issue for an io-less quic library, from 2019, https://github.com/aiortc/aioquic/issues/4

    It'd be so fracking sweet to see filesystems follow this pattern. If we could re-use the file system logic, but apply it to windows or fuse or Linux or wasm linearly-addressed-storage, that would allow such intensely cool forms of portability/reuse & bending/hacking.

    for those wishing to use http3 with a Python web framework, the ASGI hypercorn[1] currently supports it.

    made a Django example last week with a sample client based on the examples from aioquic[2]: https://github.com/djstein/django-http3-example

    this example also includes the first pass at async Django REST Framework using adrift[3] based on these GitHub issues:

    In your estimation where does the QUIC specification, HTTP/3 specification, WebTransport specification, aioquic QUIC and HTTP/3 implementation in Python https://github.com/aiortc/aioquic (notice the GoogleChrome/samples WebTransport sample code is described as local server "There's code for a sample local server at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/samples/blob/gh-pages/webtransport/webtransport_server.py") fit into the categories you color "Framework" and "Webserver"?

    Whilst the article rightly mentions aioquic to use HTTP/3 with Python, it is only a minimal example server. Hypercorn is a compete ASGI server built on aioquic that is likely more useful practically.
