nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns.
It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use.
Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further
dependencies.
The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic
blocks for building distributed systems.
By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications.
