[rabbitmq]

Rabbit.js implements the ZeroMQ patterns in node.js.

Some other things that might help understanding here:

The second article is written by one of the main authors of ZeroMQ, and includes info that may indicate that, as he says: "RabbitMQ and 0MQ are focusing on different aspects of messaging".

On being "faster", do note that almost all modern messaging software is more fast enough for web apps which rarely require more than a few 1,000 messages per second.

I'm sorry you don't like things that are written in Erlang. But there are some quite good reasons for using it, e.g. http://jlouisramblings.blogspot.com/2010/11/on-erlang-state-...
