Can you explain "way more complicated?" I admit I haven't used dnode before, but just from a brief look at it some of the differences include: * bellhop can do serialization of types not supported by JSON * bellhop provides streams2 streams * Additionally, like dnode, bellhop works fine in the browser with browserify. > On the PubSub side of things, it seems to me Axon does something similar > with less flexibility for the transport method.

Some of the problems I ran into with that were I found it difficult to do some of the things I needed to do (e.g. proxying events, using protocols other than TCP), it was hard to (easily) extend Axon to accomplish some of those tasks, and performance in the end wasn't as good as it could/should be. Regarding ZeroMQ, I actually had started working on a pure-js ZeroMQ protocol parser because I didn't like having the addon dependency. However, after spending some time implementing it (and within the confines of streams2), it quickly drove me up a wall (I'm a big protocol geek and the hoops you have to jump through to do things like support backwards compatibility with older ZeroMQ clients is crazy). > Overall, the code examples from bellhop give me the impression of > something very complicated. > Again, can you explain a bit?
