I'm out of the loop. What is MoQ?

MoQ is “Media over QUIC,” although I suspect it’ll eventually go the npm path and just end up being MoQ means MoQ.

Depending on the use case you could think of it as an alternative to WebRTC with lower level control, but honestly it’s a lot more open ended than that.

Tangential, but it’s so refreshing these days to read a post with an actual writing style. Reminded me a bit of _why.

All the MoQ articles have such a good writing style, I read them every time a new one gets posted on here. It makes me kind of sad I have no excuse to use it for anything...

or perhaps it'll go down the QUIC path instead :)

context: QUIC was originally an acronym as well

That framing helps. When people compare MoQ with WebRTC, is the main attraction lower-level control over transport/media semantics, or are there cases where MoQ is expected to be materially better for latency or reliability?

I’m trying to understand whether it’s mainly a replacement for specific WebRTC use cases, or more of a building block for new kinds of real-time systems.
