RabbitMQ has always been an extraordinarily good piece of software, from the very first versions. I think this is very good news for anyone using Docker.

Perhaps that is how you saw it. However you are dramatically wrong. ZeroMQ v4 does full end-to-end encryption, supports protocols like TIPC, and (you knew this but choose to forget it for reasons I never understood) entirely changes how we

Yes, god forbid you'd stop your production chain just because you found an internal consistency error that could potentially wreak havoc with your data. Oh, wait, that's exactly what you should be doing. If you write C/C++ wi

That's a fair assumption and accurate for a lot of the bindings. It is true that there are a lot of bindings for ZeroMQ and many were weekend projects for a single project. However it's normal and expected in a large community. To

It's no different than any significant technology that has few antecedents. Once you know the background and cast away assumptions and fallacies, it's much easier of course.

Yes, the over-conceptualized abstractions can be annoying. However if you read the RFCs that specify the patterns, http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:28 , http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:29 , http://rfc.zeromq.

You do realize the page is humor, right? A serious explanation of ZeroMQ takes 500 pages and several weeks to read.

It's not an either-or choice. Salt's security is good but it's been a request from that team, as from others, to get security into the libzmq core. Doing it at the application level is problematic for many reasons. It's unreasonably complex

The Salt security layer is great, and I've worked with Thomas Hatch on abstracting it for wider use. We wrote this http://www.zeromq.org/topics:pubsub-security some time ago. While it's good, it has a number of weaknesses that CurveCP add
