A QUIC Update
summary
Node.js adds an experimental QUIC in core implementation that targets HTTP/3 on top of UDP and TLS 1.3 (IETF draft 24, Dec 2019). It removes TCP head‑of‑line blocking by giving each stream independent flow control, cuts handshake round‑trips (one vs three), and integrates ngtcp2 for QUIC internals. The implementation is about 70% complete, demos now run after earlier segfaults, and contributors are encouraged to add JavaScript unit tests or C++ tests via the GitHub project board.
