Show HN: flic – Easy Inter-process Communication via TCP for Node.js

• nhaehnle 13y ago
  Often, you need IPC merely to communicate with a child worker process. I've seen quite a number of projects that needlessly roll their own solution when one can just use the built-in process.send() method. Of course, this doesn't cover all the use cases of this particular library, I just think it's worth pointing out.

  It seems a lot of people (including me) have made projects like this, but it would probably be most efficient if one project emerged as the standard (it's surprising one hasn't). https://github.com/mappum/node-sock https://github.com/mappum/node-sock

    While writing my library it had me wondering if maybe I could design my application differently so that I didn't have to use any IPC, but I couldn't think of a way. So yes, very surprising. I'm the developer of this library by the way, and I'm really looking for issue submissions and feedback. Any is much appreciated.
