[zeromq-dev] what is the purpose of the Go binding for czmq?

[Brian Knox]

Peter -

I am just now getting to a point that I am thinking about the "go-isms"
that I want to build on top of the goczmq bindings myself (outside of
channeler.go, which Luna contributed, which I've used in a small
application now and I like).  I have some problems that I am working on
solving at work, so I've got some real world issues I'm exploring.  I don't
really have a set "plan" yet - things that I find that are useful to me,
I'll add.  Things other people send as pull requests that are useful, I
accept.  I anticipate that I'll experiment a lot and have some false starts
- it's a learning experience.

I'll second what Pieter suggested - consider moving the bindings into the
zeromq org, and try out the C4 process as a way to allow for low friction
contributions.  We seem to have gathered together a small group of people
with an interest in both go and zeromq at this point - with some cross
pollination of ideas I bet we can have some fun and build some useful
things!

Brian
