Both games that C++ lost its place at.
What about zeromq with C++ or even resorting to simple internal
REST protocols. I've yet to see a valid argument that DCOM (not
sure about COBRA) offer a tangible benefit over simpler
approaches. Thoughts?
I am yet to enconter any project using zeromq.
The whole issue is the infrastructure you can get from such
eco-systems for large scale deployments.
For example, you a standard way across multiple operating systems
to:
- message queues, including mainframe systems
- monitoring
- scheduling
- user security, including integration with existing systems and
multiple authentication levels
- database drivers
- package aplications and deliver them across the cluster
- load balancing schemes
- web development frameworks
- batch processing
- orms
- meta-programming
- cluster based cache systems
- web apis
In C++ you would need to cherry pick different sets of libraries,
without guarantees of compatibilities across them, with different
semantics.
And they still wouldn't cover the whole functionality.
Then you will be fighting with compilation times, memory errors
and so on.
