This is the first I've heard of BEEP, but my guess so far is that the
main website for it:
http://beepcore.org/
Provides no explanation for how to use it beyond linking to a series of
long-winded and poorly-formatted RFCs, plus the site doesn't offer a
clear link to any ready-to-use lib. Either of those problems alone is
enough to turn away most people.
Sure, it's not marketed professional. There is a lot of stuff in the IT
sector that suffers this. I learned not to decided on this but take a
look, at least spend some time to get an understanding. Most of the
time it paid off.
In other words, bad marketing. Unfortunate, since it sounds like a good
idea upon my first glance of it
It is.
(aside from its choice to use XML for
certain things, which IMO is too much of an _unnecessary_ baggage for
something as low level as BEEP.)
Well, I don't like XML too, but it's not a showstopper in this case.
And the Vortex lib doesn't rely on it.
