[erlang-questions] 0MQ libraries

[Andreas Schultz]

Hi Joe,

gen_zmq is pure Erlang and talks to libzmq 2.0 implementations.
Since newer limzmq versions are backward compatible, using it to
talk to them should work.

In case the gen_socket dependency worries you, that can easily be
removed (only used for UNIX sockets). In fact I plan to remove that
soonish.

There is also rebar support pending in a review:
