Hello Azle developers.

We at Demergent Labs are closing in on our release candidate in preparation for the 1.0 release of Azle.

We’d like to apply a bit of a DOGE mindset to this release, cutting out unnecessary features.

Our question is this: do you want IC WebSocket as part of Azle’s 1.0 release? IC WebSocket support would allow for Azle canisters to have real-time WebSocket communications with web frontend and possibly other WebSocket clients/servers.

You can learn more about [IC WebSocket here](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/ic-websocket-stable-release/23872).

Please respond letting us know your appetite for this feature, it will help us to prioritize.

I personally believe that it would not be a strict requirement for a 1.0. It is definitely a nice feature, but I would not bundle it with the the first stable version of azle.

We have decided to wait until after 1.0, thanks for the feedback everyone.

Thanks for the update @lastmjs!

We definitely need to find better ways to bring more attention to such topics and collect developer feedback more efficiently.

It hurts my eyes a little bit to see that you only got 8 votes on this.
