Thanks for an interesting article.

I'd be really curious to hear more about how 0MQ compares with AMQP solutions, and in particular RabbitMQ (which was the message queueing project I was keeping an eye on before this article). Any comments on the strengths and weaknesses of each? Among others, what kind of features are possible only when you have a piece of software sitting between senders and receivers (as RabbitMQ)?

There's different focus: While RabbitMQ is more suitable for SOA-style deployments, 0MQ is focused on things like high-performance computing and stock trading.

From technical point of view, not having a broker means there's no centralised management, configuration, logging etc. On the other hand, not having a broker means there's no single point of failure.

Btw, nice piece of software, RabbitMQ is.
