I can understand why people used a C library for these apps, as when HTTP2 was specified, the C lib was the only game in down.

However, why not switch to the Rust lib when it was available? I suppose people at Dropbox are now pretty happy they did in 2016: https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/lossless-compression-wit...

It's slower, though. Too high a price to pay for safety it seems.
