ShimmerCat was a web server designed from ground-up for HTTP/2 and written in Haskell; it now appears to be an image optimization and distribution service.[1] The purported purpose of the server was to take full advantage of HTTP/2 features, including HTTP/2 Server Push,[2] to enhance the perceived page load speed of served websites. ShimmerCat used machine learning to accelerate asset delivery to the browser.
