[erlang-questions] Sock.js and Cowboy - Example

[Michael Truog]

There are reasons to use ZeroMQ and Erlang together.  A few, just thought of briefly are:
1) A quick way to integrate with external languages (non-Erlang languages)
2) A way of avoiding the limitations of distributed Erlang and its net tick time

I won't bother to list the problems with using gproc, since that is discussed elsewhere (where it remains on-topic).

Both, with SockJS & Cowboy do not have a client which I could use. SocketIO had a client which could be used in Node.js. However, SocketIO port of Erlang is looking as if it is not in active development.

In our benchmark Node.js was performing 40k msg/sec using SockJS module and around 60k msg/sec when using ZeroMQ. Even PHP gives 400K msg/sec with ZeroMQ (although it has leaking memory <https://github.com/mkoppanen/php-zmq/issues/64>).
