I love Rust, but them deciding to redesign/reimplement webrtc after being frustrated after a week seems like a prime candidate for not invented here syndrome with Rust being the justification. There is a reason webrtc is as big as it is, it’s a complex problem to solve.

Regarding the premise of high latency in webrtc: Google Stadia has ~160ms round trip latency at 4k from my Macbook to a data center, so it’s not like that’s unachievable.



Google is colocating in your basement.
