Didn't notice this on my first read, but this is by Martin Sustrik. Sustrik is a former ZeroMQ contributor and, more recently, author of the abandoned zmq alternative nanomsg [1], as well as the libmill [2] and libdill [3] lightweight concurrency libraries.

Is nanomsg truly abandoned? I was hoping it was simply converging toward stability.


Hmm true, my language was a bit ambiguous. I meant it was abandoned by Sustrik [1], even if some of the community are doing the best they can manage to keep it alive.

That seems a bit outdated; looks like main nanomsg repo has regular commits from gdamore now[1], so maybe the fork was resolved?

Yep it was eventually resolved midway through 2016, D'Amore stepped up, then stepped down, then stepped up again. The link I cited is not a commentary on the current status of nanomsg, it is more to illustrate Sustrik's role in the situation. If, ultimately, this discussion is about Sustrik's IETF proposal, it is important to consider his relationship with previous similar (zmq/nanomsg) or related (libmill/libdill) projects which have borne his name.
