Maintainer Q&A
summary
Envoy treats WebAssembly extensions as the long-term extensibility path, promising multi-language filters (Rust, TinyGo, C++) and eventual dynamic distribution to proxies with a realistic 2–3 year rollout for parity with current C++ extension points. UDP listeners and proxying are already robust and a QUIC/HTTP3 public alpha lands imminently. Windows GA is near and xDS v4 is off the table in favor of a minor-version approach. The most concrete shortcoming is extension config ergonomics around type_url Any config — want examples, cross-links and IDE completion.
