This was Martin Sustrik's vision of 0MQ: "Instead of inventing new APIs and complex wire protocols, 0MQ extends the socket API, eliminating the learning curve and allowing a network programmer to master it in a couple of hours. The wire protocols are simplistic, even trivial." [http://lwn.net/Articles/369885/] I don't know what other people think but my own experience is that this view of 0MQ wasn't very helpful except as an early selling point; we suffered due to the lack of a properly designed protocol, and the "POSIX socket" API has been clumsy to use and extend. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list zeromq-dev@lists.zeromq.org http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
