[zeromq-dev] New project: Bacaro - a Message Bus for IPC based on ZMQ

[Brett Viren]

FYI, I'm just a community member but this kind of message is welcome to me.

Bacaro looks interesting.

I'm curious if you considered Zyre for discovery and if so what your
thoughts were on pros/cons compared to the file system based solution
you picked.

Cheers,
-Brett.
