gozbus: a messaging system in golang. Hey hey hey, "Catch Z Bus!"

to install:

go get github.com/glycerine/gozbus

Gozbus is a messaging system based on the nanocap transport, our term for a combination of the nanomsg[1] and Cap'n Proto[2] technologies.

Nanomsg is the successor to ZeroMQ, and provides multiple patterns for in-process, in-host, and inter-host messaging. The peer-to-peer, publish-subscribe, enterprise bus, pipeline, and surveyor protcols can be leveraged for scalable messaging.

Cap'n Proto is the successor to ProtocolBuffers, and provides highly efficient encoding and decoding of messages based on a strongly typed schema language. Capnp bindings are available for Golang, C++, and Python. We use the schema handling portion only, as the RPC part of Cap'n Proto isn't available at this time.

[2] Cap'n Proto: http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/

These two pre-requisite libraries should be downloaded and installed prior to building gozbus.

to debug with gdb, build like so:

go build -gcflags "-N -l" gozbus.go

this turns off inlining and registerization, so you can inspect local variables easier.
