ZMQ is not a replacement for sockets, it's a library that uses sockets (and other transport mechanisms) underneath. For more details: https://zguide.zeromq.org/

- kjeetgill 6y agoWhen people say that they mean it's a replacement for the use of sockets in your program, not that it replaces sockets ... Across the technological landscape? Within the tech stack? Hmm.
- nuxi 6y agoIf your program is the only user of sockets then okay, "use of sockets in your program" might be a valid assumption. But if you're interfacing with external components using sockets/whatever, using ZMQ will not solve anything. That's why I don't see it as a replacement/competing standard...
