Any rust implementations of WebTransport ?

Neqo (Mozilla) and Quiche (Cloudflare) both implement QUIC and HTTP/3. I believe they are both developing an implementation of WebTransport.

Mozilla has a Rust QUIC implementation (one of three good ones in Rust) https://github.com/mozilla/neqo
I'm not sure why it's not used here.
Which QUIC crate should I use
3 projects | /r/rust | 28 Dec 2021

As an code hobbyist I'm working on an opensource project where I would be happy to use QUIC. I did a little research and found Quinn and Quiche but also the Mozilla's implementation for which I couldn't find crate Neqo.
QUIC is now RFC 9000

Is it possible to compile quicly cli (referenced in the blog post) with musl instead of glibc. I had to add signal.h and it then compiled successfully but I got illegal instruction segfault when executing cli.

There are a few Rust alternatives for QUIC. Anyone tried them and have comments.

The reason is the need to have total flexibility (control). [0]
I reckon to make it as painless as possible to integrate it into Firefox. Also probably a tiny bit of not-invented-here syndrome too :)

We Just Released our Rust WebTransport Teleconferencing System - Here are Some Lessons Learned
10 projects | /r/rust | 10 Jul 2023

We encountered quite a few hurdles on our journey. For one, we had to build our own yew-webtransport and yew-websocket integration from scratch by adding WebTransport definitions to wasm-bindgen (pull request link). We also had to add WebTransport support to the h3 crate (pull request link). co-created by @ten3roberts
🔧🔧🔧 WebTransport server support in the h3 crate is available today! 🚀🚀🚀

Hey u/Kulinda it is in the roadmap to replace WebSockets with WebTransport once https://github.com/hyperium/h3/pull/183 is merged.

Yes and that is h3.
Any rust implementations of WebTransport ?
4 projects | /r/rust | 4 May 2022

I'm personally following the development H3 (Hyperium) (HTTP/3 implementation), which is built on top of Quinn (QUIC implementation). Sadly the project has slowed down due to personal circumstances of its main developer and WebTransport isn't currently in their roadmap.
