You know how people often bill sqlite as a replacement for (postgresql|mysql|oracle) but it is really best thought as a replacement for fopen()?

zeromq is the same way. It's not a replacement for something like kafka or rabbitmq, it's a replacement for socket()

Zed Shaw once called it "sockets that actually work how programmers think sockets work", but I can't find a link.
