thank you. this is exactly how I feel about it. zmq appears to be a layer that tries to hide some of the most important details that the socket layer exposes.

thank you. this is exactly how I feel about it. zmq appears to be a layer that tries to hide some of the most important details that the socket layer exposes. socket programming and the state machines that tend to go along with it are some of the least difficult parts of systems programming to do well, it is well documented, well understood and there are ample tools to help measure ground truth. it was always weird to me that zmq had such a strong reputation; it basically hides what would otherwise be a few hundred lines of library code (including a framer).
