If you are sooo worried about latency, maybe TCP is a bad choice to start with… I hate to see people using TCP for all, without the minimal understanding of what problems TCP wants to solve, and specially which dont.



TCP solves for “when i send a message i want the other side to actually receive it” which is…fairly common


tcp enforces a much stricter ordering than desirable (head of line blocking). quic does a much better job of emulating a stream of independent tasks.
