Wow, I was surprised at the sheer size of the diff. Huge!

Can any of you tell if it includes unit tests? I didn't see any.

My idea of a good time is not a future where the internet is built using Google technologies dressed as "open technologies".. that.. uh-huh just happen to be the exact same as infrastructure protocols that span the internal Googleverse.

Besides that, protobuf and its ilk aren't even good or modern.

People who say, yay look at it growing are very naive imho

Pretty much no one wants to hear that they have to change their stack to use new technology. Since a large part of the world is already on nginx, this was a a real barrier for adoption.

Next up, browser support?
