Hello,
I've been using the zeromq bindings for the last six years or so. zeromq has been very nice in my experience - excellent documentation and a helpful community. The current and past maintainers of the zeromq bindings have been very easy to work with. I wrote the Lwt interface for zeromq - feedback on that piece is welcome.
I started looking at nanomsg shortly before its original author/maintainer quit the project. I stopped seriously considering nanomsg for my projects at that point. I'm happy to hear that maintenance has been picked back up though. And to echo Simon Cruanes's comment, rgrinberg is also very easy to work with!

Hi,
I'm evaluating ZeroMQ and Nanomsg for the middleware of a distributed
application. Now, I know both projects have had a fair share of drama
in the past, to the point that it's hard for an outside observer to be
up-to-date on the *current* strengths and weaknesses of each one.
Still,
it's my understanding that though ZeroMQ is more established, Nanomsg
was
developed later by one of the original authors of ZeroMQ, and supposedly
fixes some of the architectural mistakes of ZeroMQ. To complicate
matters,
Nanomsg's author quit the project a while ago, leaving it in limbo for
a while. In the meantime, it seems development has picked up again, and
Nanomsg recently had its 1.0 release.
Anyway, I'm sure the picture I painted above is incomplete. Therefore,
I would be much obliged to hear your opinions and experiences with
either
project. I will be using the OCaml bindings, obviously, so the maturity
of
the bindings is also a factor. (On first glance they seem quite
complete
and both offer support for LWT, which is a must.)
Thanks in advance for your time!
Kind regards,
Dario Teixeira
