Watch me try to pass rhetoric off as logical conclusion: let hsal be hintjens, sustrik et al. 1. hsal are reasonably clever people 2. hsal know a lot about amqp (more than I do) 3. hsal invested a lot of time and money in amqp 4. i know amqp doesn't suck because I use it myself and it works beautifully 5. hsal don't like amqp very much anymore, and they've ran off and did their own thing In conclusion, "their own thing" is probably worth at least a few days of experimentation before you hsal gets internally dismissed as a bunch of loons who stared too deep into the abyss and paid for it with their sanity :-) We're not really seriously considering using ZMQ at the moment (hence my reluctance to implement all of it in Python) mostly because ZMQ's fancy features don't apply to us yet. We're doing a JSON-based protocol over HTTPS with a new connection every time we send something, obviously latency is not a major issue :-) Still, I'd like to know more about ZMQ so I can give a rational (technical/financial/political) reason why we're using one and not the other. > -Pieter > > lvh
