Re:Show HN: CLIPSmqueue: A POSIX message queue (mqueue) libr... by ryjo on Tuesday December 30, 2025 @10:20AM (#46434151)
Hey, HN. This is a small C library that enables usage of POSIX message queues (mqueue) in CLIPS. This enables IPC between multiple CLIPS processes using kernel-managed message queues, including load-balancing receives and priority-handling.

The repo includes a fairly full test suite as well as examples that demonstrate multi-process communication between CLIPS rules engines.

My purpose in providing this library (and other CLIPS libraries I've released) is to expand the usecases in which CLIPS can be leveraged. Feedback welcome.
