This article has a ring of truth. With HTTP/2 gaining traction I cannot help but wonder if a lot problems could be solved by going down a level of complexity instead of stacking more layers on top of TCP.
For example why not allow UDP from Javascript in the browser with CORS like protections to limit DOS attacks. I.e., only allow UDP connections back to the origin unless the server explicitly allows non-origin access from the requesting domain.
This approach seems a lot simpler and opens the doors to all kinds of improvements not just those designed into HTTP/2.
