<p><strong><a href="http://www.igvita.com/2010/09/03/zeromq-modern-fast-networking-stack/">ZeroMQ: Modern and Fast Networking Stack</a></strong></p> I get ZeroMQ now. I was having trouble figuring out how it differed from things like RabbitMQ—it turns out it’s an entirely new low-level socket abstraction, designed to make common socket programming tasks like message sending/receiving and publish/subscribe a whole lot easier than dealing with raw BSD sockets. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/io">io</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/messaging">messaging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/networking">networking</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/sockets">sockets</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/zeromq">zeromq</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a></p>
