0rtt is going to make a huge perceived difference on high latency (mobile) links. Don't forget however that the syn/ack tcp connection setup also still has an additional 1rtt overhead. For this reason, I'm still rooting for Google's QUIC to get towards standardization and mainstream adoption.

QUIC is indeed nice. As a Chinese who frequently browses Google with a VPN and therefore high latency, the difference between loading Google in Chrome and in other browsers is palpable.

But I have not seen any adoption of QUIC either in clients or servers, outside the Google's circle.

I'm hoping once QUIC matures that Google will release some open source Apache / nginx modules to support it. Development without any commercial incentive seems to happen very slowly otherwise.
