Hi everyone,

on http://zeromq.org/docs:features it says:

> The ZeroMQ sockets have become models for well-defined packages of behavior. They even have their own RFCs full of SHALLs and MUST NOTs, like pub-sub and request-reply. The socket API and metaphor can only stretch so far before we feel "this was cool in 1980 but is kind of bizarre in 2020." There are better ways to make APIs. ZeroMQ has been repositioning itself towards those.

What exactly is meant with that, e.g. what are those better ways and
in how has ZMQ repositioned itself?

Cheers
Mario
