Google Chrome Will Adopt HTTP/2 In the Coming Weeks, Drop SPDY Support

An anonymous reader writes: Google today announced it will add HTTP/2, the second major version of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), to Google Chrome. The company plans to gradually roll out support to the latest version of its browser, Chrome 40, "in the upcoming weeks." At the same time, Google says it will remove support for SPDY in early 2016. SPDY, which is not an acronym but just a short version for the word "speedy," is a protocol developed primarily at Google to improve browsing by forcing SSL encryption for all sites and speeding up page loads. Chrome will also lose support for the TLS extension NPN in favor of ALPN.

If you think HTML can become binary data always fetched a database, you've never done any Web coding in your life. As for Swift, keep that on your iToys.
It's binary either way, dumbass. When you buy a BluRay, do you get excited for the "DIGITAL COPY" they'll loan you despite the fact that the disc itself already contains a (vastly superior) digital copy?
