Hello ZeroMQ community, As of version 1.3-RC1, the Akka [1] platform supports messaging over ZeroMQ [2]. Those who haven't heard about Akka, it is an unified runtime and programming model for concurrency, remoting, and fault-tolerance, written in the Scala programming language. It accesses the native ZeroMQ library through JNA using the ZeroMQ Scala binding. The binding implements an API similar to that of JZMQ. Note that Java users can also use the ZeroMQ Scala binding.
The ZeroMQ integration to Akka allows users to use their own wire protocol formats, and therefore, it can be used in existing ZeroMQ environments. In addition to user-defined wire protocol formats, the ZeroMQ module supports Protobuf message serialization / deserialization. Currently, the API lacks of support for accessing and manipulation of socket options and ZeroMQ version 3.x. Also, there are no statistics for JNA's (Scala binding) impact on the performance when comparing to JNI (JZMQ).
