MPI is extremely well-known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface

Anyone who has done any scientific or technical computing is highly likely to be familiar with it – it's been around in some form for over 25 years.

Do you think using this over zmq in my thingy would really bring much improvement?

I use it everyday for some of my home baked apps, and would love if this really made a difference.

That depends on your workload. 0MQ is fine software, but they solve different problems.

The problem here is the claims you're making. You've written some utility classes around 0MQ for some applications, which is a real thing, so I'd rewrite your GitHub readme to just demonstrate what problems you've solved with it (and at what kind of scale). Making big, sweeping claims gets you into these kinds of threads, because extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence :-)

Updated readme to be a little better

I use it in a couple of my own stuff which I have open sourced yet.

I do plan to release them, and I hope I can prove the usefulness of the library using those...

professional (corporate) stuff would be a far fetch for me, obviously.
