Minor, but still: you can't write a conforming WebSocket client in 3 lines of code, and you can't write a conforming WebSocket server in 200 lines of code. I know: I have written a couple. Anyway. Moot, since this isn't about WebSocket.

WebSocket only provides you with a bidirectional message channel. It's low-level, and does not provide application messaging.

WAMP can run _over_ WebSocket, but also other message channels. E.g. you can have WAMP running over a shared-memory message queue.
