       | A real modern communication would be something like NATS
       | (somewhat similar to ZeroMQ in concepts). It's quite amazing,
       | even more frictionless than ZeroMQ.

         | What does NATS do that you think is amazing?

           | In this sense it's a bit like Sqlite, which also JustWorks,
           | as opposed to something like Postgres which requires more
           | fiddling and maintenance.
           | 
           | And functionally, it allowed me to create a service-bus
           | topology where multiple processes can post messages on a set
           | of subjects that can be subscribed by multiple other
           | processes (think stock market quotes). This pattern is
           | surprisingly difficult to implement in other message brokers.
