libmill, the pre-cursor to libdill, was directly inspired by an implementation of nanomsg written in go (called mango I believe). Martin had struggled with the state machine approach he had been using and the coroutine approach of golang was a lot easier to reason about in practice. libdill was a development on libmill in two main ways: it was more idiomatically C and it supports structured concurrency. The latter is, in my opinion, very interesting. Martin has a blog post on it [0]. BTW I've got all this from following the nanomsg threads and reading Martin's blog. I'm not an active participant, so I may have some details wrong, but I think it's fairly accurate. [0] http://250bpm.com/blog:71 http://250bpm.com/blog:71
