Getting started with ZeroMQ
summary
ZeroMQ is a sockets library that replaces raw TCP with higher-level patterns and cross‑language bindings, not a brokered queue. Concrete claims: request–reply enforces alternating send/receive and ordered delivery, pub–sub streams drop messages unless consumers exist and can filter by prefix, push–pull load balances work across many workers, and spooling to disk exists but spool files are not recoverable after a crash. Install via brew + gem on OS X; Windows and inproc have quirks. Demo shows very low latency and trivial failover when a peer restarts.
