Honestly, I just went through all the JeroMQ examples ported from the guide [0], and translated them to Clojure. I added no dependencies outside of JeroMQ, and tried to port them in an as-idiomatic-as-possible way. It actually wasn't too hard once I wrapped my head around it, and it took me about 6-8 hours in total (spread over the course of a week or so), so not a huge time sink. This also had the (unintended) benefit of me getting pretty good with ZeroMQ (and networking patterns in general), so I think that time investment paid for itself several fold. I definitely think there needs to be a better messaging with the library support in Clojure; as it stands, a Clojure newbie might (very reasonably) look up "clojure zeromq" on Google, get a crappy, unmaintained library, and dismiss the language as having "bad library support", when in re

ality most of the Clojure veterans that I work with do the same thing that I do: when the Clojure libraries are bad, just use the Java ones. There are exceptions to this in rare cases; I haven't done a ton of ClojureScript, but the bit I have, I genuinely really liked the Re-frame framework. I'm not a frontend guy, so I'm speaking largely out of my ass, but I found it to be a lot more pleasant then vanilla React. [0]https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq/tree/master/src/test/java/g...
In The Future of Clojure

By now he probably realizes that the Java version is what he was looking for all along: https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq Why C/C++ coders don't even write "Hello World" in Java SE before drifting away into rewriting the ball bearing (1907) part of the wheel is beyond me. The Throwable class is exceptional in every way, it wastes almost nothing and gives the programmer the ability to catch all problems that occur in the VM. public static void main(String[] args) { while(1) { try { // do everything, and always throw unchecked // Exceptions unless you need the programmer to // handle the problem } catch(Custom c) { // here we can react to the exact problem the // parent programmer devised } catch(Exception e1) { // something "normal" happened that would have
Read the rest
// generated completely random behavior with // machine code } catch(Error e2) { // something "critical" happened that would have // generated a segfault with machine code!!! } finally { Thread.sleep(10); } } } The above code will never cause you to loose sleep. You can pretend there is a way to do this in any other programming language, but only C# would be able to and it is lackluster in so many other domains. C will not help you with exceptions or concurrency, it will punish you into believing Rust is the solution. C++ Exceptions are complete garbage, the only good part of C++ are std API (not implementation apparently) and Objects for structure, not for data (cache-misses). Java does not crash and has the same performance as machine code, that is why it is the leading server language in the world. Goodbye karma! Xo Edit: that was fast! Edit2: Please comment if you downvote.
In Why should I have written ZeroMQ in C, not C++ (2012)
kimagure·Nov 15, 2013
been looking into this recently. it seems like a lot of the bindings haven't been maintained in 2+ years, but the pure java implementation JeroMQ is very active and convenient to use (https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq) the name reminds me of jero, the american-born enka singer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba9rKhVAz80) i'm not entirely sure if i personally could come up with a good usage for zmq though, unless i were going through tons of data from sources like social media or scientific experimentation
In ZeroMQ is just sockets
