0MQ is not message queueing in the normal sense as known from all other
MQ tools/libraries.

0MQ is about networking in general ... and their introduction text with
all their examples is one of the best examples documentation I've ever
read in the area of practical networking. Even though one might not use
0MQ one should read their views about putting network patterns together
to form a distributed network of software nodes (in different languages).

For Smalltalk 0MQ is a wonderful library:

-> because of the interactive character of Smalltalk you might run a 0MQ
   node and still can inspect the whole traffic. That's a thing other
   languages can dream of.

-> due to the fact, that the whole communcation is done in an external
   thread you simply win Smalltalk CPU time (which is always needed).
