Not everyone is on board with the idea of HTTP being the exclusive universal IPC bus.

I’m not really a fan. But if you’re building a protocol that needs to map to HTTP anyway, then maybe using the HTTP binding everywhere is not totally awful.

In the flip side: I’m currently designing an AI-adjacent protocol, and it will be able to map to WebTransport, but I don’t plan to define non-WebTransport HTTP bindings unless a very compelling reason appears. The main implementations will not use HTTP at all :)

Would you prefer gRPC, thrift, avro, etc... ?
