I find it kinda odd that github.com/gorilla/websocket, which is deprecated and the repo is in archive mode, is still the most popular library for websockets.
Case in point: go.elara.ws/go-lemmy
I’m not saying this is inherently bad, I just wonder why that is.
I guess the most common last words are “How hard could it be?”, but why is nobody rolling their own?
Yes, and unless WS suddenly change, it’ll likely keep working for a long time.
The reason I’m skittish is because there might be undiscovered security issues, and it feels like a huge chunk of the community just don’t care.
