You wouldn't be a software engineer if you weren't optimistic. ;) But it does seem like some of Pion got in - parser.ipp looks mostly like Pion code? > Reality set in and it just never really developed enough > momentum..

Currently we're ok with our asio-butchered-example server but I'll keep Pion in mind if we're thinking of upgrading. > P.S.
