He wonders if "wasn't ZeroMQ supposed to be the lightweight alternative" --which means he never bothered to go read the source code or use to find out.

Then he feels "validated" of not using any *mq stuff (besides, say ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ being totally different in scope and implementation), because he read a random comment in this very thread that reads more like a /. flame.

Lastly, he doesn't even do much work (if any) with messaging. From his response below, it seems like he considered messaging options for some project, couldn't figure then out and/or didn't proceed with the project, and does non message-related iOS work now.
