About Lightweight Toolkit for Messaging, Concurrency and the Web • nanonext

R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ. A toolkit for messaging, concurrency and the web. High-performance socket messaging over in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS transports implements Scalability Protocols, a standard for common communications patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and survey. A threaded concurrency framework with intuitive aio objects that resolve automatically upon completion of asynchronous operations, and synchronisation primitives that allow R to wait on events signalled by concurrent threads. A unified HTTP server hosting REST endpoints, WebSocket connections and streaming on a single port, with a built-in HTTP client.
