This looks pretty new and under developed. In a world of service mesh proliferation not sure where this fits as there is some feature overlap.

Would be interested to see how this is implemented and what it’s consistency and reliability dynamics are.

I think the largest issue is a lack of documentation. Go-Micro is ~5 years old, so definitely not new. Pub Sub works pretty well; check out the PubSub example in micro/examples.

I might agree, but it's not the only core pattern.

What if one needs (distributed) transactions? The fact that pub/sub is advertised as a prominent feature makes me think that asynchronous models are preferred, at least in design and philosophy of the framework.
