I love DBus too, but it's definitely not the best embedded tool. Would have kinda been nice if a variant of MQTT had been the standard Linux broker for everything, but DBus does give some cool extras. There's almost nothing that you actually can't do nicely in MQTT though. It's a fantastic protocol.

The only place it kind of falls down as an IPC is confirmation that a specific subscriber saw a message you published. That's fixable with a little bit of shim code to send back an ACK, and that's something I can live with. The protocol wasn't really designed to be a round-trip communication system.
