[rabbitmq-discuss] C++ client options

Wed Aug 7 19:42:33 BST 2013

My team went through this decision a few months ago.  We decided to go with
SimpleAmqpClient for a few reasons:

   - Its author (Alan) is very involved in the community and very
   responsive to questions.
   - Its author is intimately familiar w/ rabbitmq-c, so likely knows best
   how to leverage its capabilities
   - It seems to be better documented and more frequently maintained than
   the alternatives

Several months in, we're still happy with the choice we have made.  Of
course we have our list of features we'd love to see implemented, but
everything it does so far, it does well!  (Thanks, Alan!)
