Google recently released their experimental transport protocol called QUIC as a namespace net.quic in Chrome. I'd love to use it, as it looks perfect for my use case, however I can't seem to find any guide on using it as a standalone library.
Is there any available way to get QUIC as a standalone library aside from the Chrome source?

About QUIC QUIC is essentially HTTP/2 over UDP which is a new layer4 protocol. At the time of writing this article, QUIC is still 'experimental', but is enabled by default in Google Chrome, and can be enabled in Opera 16. Other browsers will surely follow once the protocol is finalized.
Any connection to a Google server is established via QUIC. As to be expected, everything under Google's umbrella uses QUIC. YouTube, Blogger, Hangouts – they're all QUIC-based. QUIC has also been adopted by businesses that rely on a stable, fast connection for their service to be viable.
HTTP/3 is the third version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), previously known as HTTP-over-QUIC. QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) was initially developed by Google and is the successor of HTTP/2. Companies such as Google and Facebook have already been using QUIC to speed up the web.
Quic, a protocol for transmitting data between computers, improves speed and security on the internet and can replace Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP, a standard that dates back to Ye Olde Internet of 1974.
As of Tue 5 Apr, 2016, Google has released their own proto-quic library on Github.
