Polling is an antipattern in most cases, it increases latency for clients and server load. When e.g. building a PoS using LUD21 one has to poll at least every second to achieve reasonably low latency. Long-polling fixes this.

Agree on the SSE being the more stable modern path forward, but open to suggestions here. I do think solving over-polling is great and something we should aim to achieve, but the spec additions as they are, feel very bare bones. |

Polling is an antipattern in most cases, it increases latency for clients and server load, yet it's the only way to use LNURL verify aka LUD21 right now. When e.g. building a PoS using LUD21 one has to poll at least every second to achieve reasonably low latency.
