Reminds me of https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2015-March/019288.html

It's a shame to see glib so slow at picking the GUri patches. I personally lost interest, there are other better ways imho.

Tbh, instead of slowly reinventing YA URI parsing in C, I am tempted to go a step in the future and just link with the rust URI crate (https://docs.rs/url/1.2.1/url/). Since it's already being used by firefox in the latest release, I trust this is fairly solid.

I have done some mix of rust and C in the past, just like what Hub recently described in a blog: https://www.figuiere.net/hub/blog/?2016/10/07/862-rust-and-automake

It is fairly easy, and I would be happy to link with rust code which is way safer than C.

Of course, we would have to keep C for a while, but given that firefox depends on rust and Fedora ships it, gdb support it etc, there is a good chance it ends in every single platform we care about.
