It's had about 20 years to hit the bigtime, I think we can safely say it's not going to happen.
- upofadown 5y agoSo what is the bigtime open messaging standard?
- kitkat_new 5y agothere isn't any. But if I would have to bet on a standard which could become it right now, then it would be Matrix. It convinces when it comes to adoption, concept, features and growth.
- MattJ100 5y agoA mere protocol will never "hit the bigtime" without some compelling (non-protocol) reason. It's unfortunate that businesses choose to build silos time and time again, but that's where we are - it's not an issue that can be solved at the protocol level. Should this be fixed (e.g. through regulation), XMPP is absolutely a sound choice - given, as you say, its 20 years of experience, evolution and deployment track record.
- kitkat_new 5y agohonestly, given the current adoption, growth and state of the ecosystem, I don't think it is. In theory, you could achieve with it what Matrix achieves, but it would probably be more feasible to start from scratch - like Matrix did That said, I see how it currently has advantages when it comes to resource consumption as well as internal deployment to centralized services.
