A comment on ZeroMQ 4.2.0. Parent comment

Martin Sustrik split because of differences, did a completely new implementation called nanomsg. He is no longer maintaining nanomsg. That task has fallen to someone else, but it doesn't seem to be too active at the moment.

Right, but my point was rather about the differences you mention. I was under the impression that 0MQ was superceded by nanomsg for technical reasons (UNIX-iness, 0MQ's threading model, etc).

Whence comes the impression that nanomsg is inactive?

Because two 'main' maintainers so far abandoned it quite publicly, maybe someone picked it up afterwards.

Ah, I missed it.

The mangos project seems to be alive and well, in any case.
