> On this subject, (speaking as individual) I think it would be useful to define a QUIC application API. SCTP did one (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc6458/) and the idea that an application would have to be written separately for each quic implementation is silly.

For what it's worth, for the hyper library (the most popular HTTP
library in the Rust ecosystem) we're trying to define a set of Rust
traits (abstract interfaces) that cover the basic QUIC API insofar as
H3 support needs it.

Kind regards,
