Show HN: Drogon – A C++14/17 based high performance HTTP application framework
This is cool, and I like it. Very Haskell like, which is a compliment in my book.<p>But one thing that surprises me is that folks are essentially sleeping on HTTP/2. HTTP/2 is just a hell of a lot better in most every dimension. It's better for handshake latency, it's better for bandwidth in most cases, it's better for eliminating excess SSL overhead and also, it's kinda easier to write client libraries for, because it's so much simpler (although the parallel and concurrent nature of connections will challenge a lot of programmers).<p>It's not bad to see a new contender in this space, but it's surprising that it isn't http/2 first. Is there a good reason for this? It's busted through 90% support on caniuse, so it's hard to make an argument that adoption holds it back.
