Thanks! Actually I've read it quite early in my AMQP experience.
Still, with all the problems, AMQP is here and it works better (as
in more portable) than other (open) alternatives... (Actually the only
ones I know about are JMS based...)
Ciprian.
P.S.: I'm not favoring AMQP over ZeroMQ. I'm just saying that for
a certain class of applications AMQP is a better choice than ZeroMQ,
and the other way around.
P.P.S.: BTW, ZeroMQ can also be criticized as being API based --
as there is limited documentation about the protocol -- but
fortunately it's quite easy to implement your own "sockets". (Or at
least this is what I think after reading the related "unprotocol".)
