Hurricane: An Infinitely Scalable Messaging System
- dy 15y agoLooks very cool - some suggestions for the README: - who's sponsoring and using this? - how does it compare to other message buses - why should someone consider moving [0mq, rabbit, activemq] to this?
- someone13 15y agoFor the record - I'm the submitter, but not affiliated with this project in any way - I just saw it on /r/programming over at Reddit and figured that some of the people here might be interested :-)
- coutud 15y agoHum, I'm not overly impressed. Yes, erlang is nice, and I guess that using it to create some messaging broker is probably good, but I don't see what this projects adds compared to zeromq for example. 0MQ having the advantage of its large community, company-backed development, and (most importantly) brokerless messaging ...
- jameskilton 15y agoThe project page never uses the word "infinitely", simply "scalable". The project is obviously very new, but I have to note: * There's no use of OTP anywhere. * It has an inferior re-implementation of a supervisor * None of the language implementations use BERT[1], but instead re-implements this in ways that will make common users of that language cringe (particularly Ruby) * Does the author realizes that scalability is a lot harder than just using erlang's built-in node graph system? Don't get me wrong, I wish the author the best, but using Erlang comes with a number of assumptions, and without these it's going to be hard to be taken seriously, especially in a field that's well dominated by RabbitMQ and ActiveMQ.
