Use uWS in Socket.io?

See this issue on why: https://github.com/socketio/engine.io/issues/388 And here how: https://github.com/socketio/engine.io#methods

We technically could, but the performance aspect doesn't matter at all in JARVIS. Memory efficiency would be the only benefit.

Personally I'd probably swap to ws for this project since it's a little lighter on the install (no binary) and there's still a lot of performance improvement.

That said, we'd need to add a websocket listener on the client, which Sockette could do.

All in all, this is mostly a yak shaver because we don't really gain anything from it. It's not like JARVIS is powering an application server or something -- then it'd matter 😄

I totally don't like socket.io but I can't prioritise swapping it now as we still in beta and am really rethinking so many things
