I think we I agree here.
> I think adding an “updated date” to the entries would be a simple approach
to communicate how recent an entry is...
I don't see how that addresses the points I raised. Here are some additional
questions that correspond to and hopefully clarify my previous points:
- Are we going to augment the list with any of the STOMP clients that have
been written since this document saw a meaningful update? What clients for MQTT
and AMQP?
- How are we going to maintain the list so that it doesn't fall out of date
like the current one? Are we going to rely on folks sending PRs? Are we going
to update it ourselves? If so, how will we know what new clients have been
written and what clients have been abandoned?
- By what criteria will we judge the clients that we link so that the list
is trustworthy? Should we test with each of the linked clients to give users
confidence that they work?
- Why not simply advertise the protocols we support and tell users to
search for a client for their language and platform?
In my opinion this list is technical debt, and eliminating technical debt is
valuable for us _and_ users because it frees our time to do more meaningful
things. It's easy for users to search by protocol/language/platform to find
suitable client implementations. It's harder for us to maintain a list like
this as evidenced by the fact that it hasn't had a meaningful update in almost
9 years now despite the fact that notable new clients have been released (e.g.
Paho suite of MQTT clients, Qpid JMS, AMQP.Net Lite, etc.).
