[rabbitmq-discuss] GPB and AMQP/RabbitMQ

Alexis,

> Thanks so much for talking about this.

It's my pleasure.  RabbitMQ and AMQP in general has worked its way in to
our normal tool chain, because they just work so well and fit a need
we've had for some time.

The problem on my side is the scope of the changes (the internals of
RabbitMQ, all of the libraries, etc).  I don't really have the time to
devote to such a huge undertaking alone, but I suppose one of the
benefits of open source is collaborative development and this topic
seems to have a lot of interest.

I'm betting so, but I want to (right now) avoid customizing our AMQP
broker to the extreme, I want to do what I can with the stock
server/client and decide from there if something custom would be a
better/cleaner approach.

> Very cool!  I am extremely impressed.  Do you plan to blog about this?

I hadn't thought about that, but it might be pretty useful for other
people once we get further along.

Thanks,
Rob
