I am interested in both Go and nanomsg. Unfortunately I don't really have that
much time to have this kind of fun these days, like rewriting nanomsg in Go,
but I will watch it with excitement if someone does that :-) Just curious - how
did this idea came up your mind, Gonzalo? I am not saying it's crazy, just
curious about the reasons…
