I am a member of the AMQP Working Group and the OASIS AMQP Member Section. Last month we released the AMQP 1.0 protocol. This is something that we are really passionate about.

The one thing that has really held back the broad adoption of AMQP is the delay behind the release of the 1.0 version of the protocol. Now that we have this under our belt we need implementers such as RabbitMQ, StormMQ, Microsoft, INETCO etc to add support for AMQP 1.0. Finally, we need native AMQP clients installed by default and widely supported by OS and hardware developers, put simply, we need the full participation of the main operating system stack suppliers such as Microsoft and Redhat.

Luckily enough, both RedHat and Microsoft are members of the AMQP Working Group. I assume that they will release native clients and thus pave the way for broad adoption. It is the growth of pervasive AMQP clients and a strong and healthy developer community that will drive adoption and general acceptance of AMQP.
