Sockets are the API abstraction, not the transport layer. Yes, there is real demand in IPC that works quickly and everywhere. > However since 0MQ already has the start of an Ada binding, perhaps 0MQ could > be extended to include LINX support. Bindings are layered on top of the 0MQ core API, so it's not meaningful to use those to provide functionality back to the core. The main problem with adding transports to 0MQ, as discussed today on irc, is that 0MQ has no pluggable interface for transports. So, adding a new transport is tricky, you have to know the code base quite well. This is something we'd like to improve but it's some time away. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
