DConf '23--The QUIC Protocol in D--Vlăduț Chicoș

QUIC is a new, standardized and widely adopted internet protocol. A native library within the D ecosystem would pave the way towards HTTP/3 adoption. Furthermore, it would remove the reliance on bindings to third party C implementations and would facilitate the use of features like D exceptions and fiber-based concurrency.

This talk aims to present Vlad's progress on bringing QUIC to the D environment. He talks about why someone might consider using QUIC over other protocols. He presents the challenges he encountered and how the solutions reflect into the design of quic-d. The requirements of QUIC framing/packetization and streams made an interesting case of using D’s features, like introspection. He concludes by presenting some possible improvements and opportunities.
