>I used to rant against using socket.io at every possible opportunity. The library has (had) crazy bugs in its reconnection code. In the right circumstances the library would violate ordering and delivery guarantees, or it would lie about messages being received when they hadn't been. But no matter how much I ranted about it, and no matter how many hundreds of issues there were on github, far more people used socket.io than the (much more reliable) alternatives because socket.io had a pretty website, good documentation and it was taught at coding bootcamps. I think the only reason its not as popular now is that you don't need it now that websockets are available everywhere.
That is true. So with the modern browsers now days latest Chrome/Firefox (both desktop and mobile) can support websocket seamlessly? I guess socket.io is kinda like the jquery of ws then? It will take some time to phase out.
