I only read the title and just thought... so Apple 'invented' their own HTTP/2 protocol now. that really wouldn't surprise me. one. little. bit.

It would have surprised me but it also isn't something I would absolutely rule out a priori :) Also, it's a pretty bad headline from what I (non-native speaker) can tell. You have a point, not quite sure why you're being downvoted.

I guess the unpopular bit is the insinuation that the following happens with Apple repeatedly: Somebody develops an industry standard, Apple implements it, people start claiming that Apple invented it.

That situation is a popular tech trope.

And, also, many people on HN like to nip these kinds of pointless, snarky comments about Apple, Google, IBM, what have you in the bud.

"Take this to reddit" being the oft heard refrain.

Wow, that title. What this actually links to is a Go wrapper for Apple's new APNS interface, which utilizes HTTP/2. While this looks like a useful tool for the toolbelt, I would have much rather read something about how Apple got to the new protocol, or an interesting blog post about experiences using it. Having come from a shop that worked on the older protocols and been the tiniest part of an implementation with one of the brightest developers I've ever met, this new protocol is brilliant and a huge improvement, and it's a shame that this post, despite the title, doesn't do that justice.
