The QUIC transport protocol, which may replace TCP for a lot of
usages, specially HTTP, is now a standard:

QUIC is very much designed for the Web, with its special requirments,
such as parallel downloading of several resources. Gemini, being
simpler, may be less interested and may stay with TCP. Although the
lower latency of QUIC, partly due to the merge with TLS, may be
interesting since Gemini always uses TLS.
