could not find tokio in webrtc_unreliable
The Cargo.toml on GitHub has the optional dependency specified correctly.

How are rust devs doing?
I use WebRTC for multiplayer, and Rust has a great library (webrtc-unreliable) To be fair, C++ has libdatachannel which I like using too.

What are the differences between UDP and WebSockets, and which type of games benefit from which?
You can, in theory, get UDP-like characteristics out of a different web API - with a WebRTC datachannel configured to be unreliable and unordered. I haven't seen anybody use that API just because it's a pretty big pain to use. The developer of Agar IO called it too hard to use in a HackerNews comment, but nowadays there's simpler libraries than the ones he had in 2016 like webrtc-unreliable and libdatachannel. You still need to run a STUN/TURN server and the integration is easier than it was back then, but still much harder than raw UDP sockets though.

A pure Rust implementation of WebRTC API.
Take a look at webrtc-unreliable. I haven't tried it, but it claims to implement just a simple subset of webrtc to get udp-like functionality.

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?
