NComm creator here: I've been following the Copper Robotics project for a bit and I love the design. I would say that copper has a lot larger of a scope than NComm (i.e. executor, drivers, logging, etc.). With NComm, I was focusing much more on something as close to ROS 2's execution model as possible, but without the headaches of it being ROS and C++. In general, I think of NComm as more of a communication library (hence Comm) with the added benefit of standardized tasks and executors to make breaking up the various robotics tasks into small more manageable chunks. Personally, I like that there's a ton of projects trying to replace the ROS middleware because we've all chosen a different way of fixing the problem so no one's stuck using ROS because its the only option.
