Funny.
I just googled for the "news" and ran across the Reddit
discussion. OMG. Sheesh there was a lot of discussion there.
I was trying to do a good thing; instead I got pounded for it. Frankly
the negativism that accompanies most OSS projects makes me wonder why
we do this at all. After all it is always easier to gripe about who
some program is crapware than to do anything constructive. FOSS
maintainership is a thankless job. The CoC debacle just underscored
that for me.
As to being bribed to come back - while nothing is impossible - it
seems unlikely to me. The nanomsg code base is pretty unfun for me to
work on and it would take a lot to get me interested in it again. The
lack of sufficient interested contributors has meant I had to carry too
much of this beast - not my baby - on my own shoulders. The thankless
nature and sense of inherited responsibility didn't make it more fun.
My decision to step down may have been rashly made, but I think it was
the right thing.
My Github commits may have been down of late, but my quality of life
has been up. :-)
As to questions raised technically.
Sub sockets don't hang. Frankly even your pyzmq results seem suspect to
me although I don't use zmq anymore.
Mangos will for the time being attempt to remain compatible with
nanomsg. If nobody picks up nanomsg I may drive forward with mangos in
the future. We shall see.
As to security mangos supports TLS today. Doing so with zmq is possible
but a lot of work because the design isn't terribly friendly for
OpenSSLs abstractions. I'd planned to do so anyway at some point but
never found the cycles.
Using curve crypto looks interesting but again someone else would need
to drive it forward. I've got no time and TLS in mangos meets my needs.

Ironically, this whole fiasco is how I saw nanomsg in the
newsfeeds make it out to be. I think Garrett should be bribed to step
back in - while you guys make up your mind (just random 2 cents), while
CoC should be implemented - and perhaps C4 as well.
zeromq sub recv stops after 254 messages in pyzmq...)
So does nanomsg SUB socket also hang after a while randomly? (my
follow nanomsg or the other way around?
Mangos looks good - but how will it develop in the future? Will it
pretty dead for zeromq.
Also, you guys have better support for erlang, which seems to be
is pretty convenient.
How about security? Anything similar to curvezmq? Because that thing
