[zeromq-dev] [ANN] zmq.rs - native stack of ØMQ in Rust

[Pieter Hintjens]

Very nice. The only comment I'd make is that the libzmq API is a
little clunky and you might look at the CZMQ zsock API as a model. The
code classes in CZMQ are zsock, zactor, and perhaps zbeacon and zmsg.
There's also an interesting API in libzmtp, which expresses separate
socket types as separate classes.
