I spent the good part of last night compiling a previous version of nodejs to try out quic. I wanted to see if it could replace webrtc for a multiplayer game.

You have to compile a previous commit from the repo because the experimental implementation of quic was removed according to this issue: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/37067

Not sure when we can expect it to come back. You can just feel the pain in those comments. All that hard work.

Should be back soon - issue was related to the underlying openssl dependency, which is currently being updated in the newest Node release. I'd expect to see quic back within 2 to 3 months at most.
That’s great news! I figured it’d come back at some point.
