I’d like to take a moment to publicly acknowledge the effort that Sean
McArthur has put into hyper and the quality of support that he provides
on an ongoing basis. He receives the brunt of our “something is wrong in
the network stack, what do I need to do to fix it?” requests, and he’s
been really good about helping us figure out what needs to change and how.
I would also like to acknowledge the incredible amount of thinking and
design that has gone into hyper over the years. This struck me recently
when I finally figured out the solution our SSL test automation
problems, which was made possible by the loose coupling of the HTTP
connector system that hyper provides. This is a part of the library that
I’ve never looked closely at before, and the reasons for the complexity
of the various small, generic components were never clear to me. Upon
sitting down and thinking through my problem, I realized that the loose
coupling provided me with exactly the tools that I needed in order to
solve a longstanding issue in a straightforward and self-contained manner.
I would hardly say that hyper is unappreciated by the Servo team - I’m
sure I speak for others when I state that it’s wonderful to make use of
existing high-level APIs taken for making HTTP requests in a browser.
However, I think it’s worth taking a moment to thank seanmonstar for the
excellent work that he and others have put into the library on which we
rely so heavily.
Thanks Sean! Both you and hyper are a pleasure to work with on a regular
basis.
Cheers,
Josh
