@kentonv While lots of developers get surprisingly far using bare WebSockets, I couldn't recommend it for general-purpose applications over the open Internet[1]. There are far too many people stuck in environments where only HTTP/1.1 will get through. So, in practice, you need fallbacks, and to make that not be painful you need some kind of library.

[1] Games seem to be an exception. Game developers appear to be quite happy to say "if my game doesn't work with your ISP, get a new ISP".
