Went down a rabbit hole investigating some other things and haven't looked into this yet. I started poking at it last week and so far it looks pretty interesting.
@abucci msgbus is better 😅 I find NATs to be a bit over engineered for my liking 🤣 @xuu also wrote ev 👌

@prologic no offense or anything, but this is for a funded project and I can't go down the route of using software written by my online pals that other people almost surely haven't heard of and I haven't evaluated properly. As far as engineering goes, I'm using this as a standalone service, not a library. I don't write Go and won't in this project; I'd just use nats as messaging middleware. In that respect, it doesn't look overengineered to me--it has almost exactly the features I need.
At least on paper. I haven't tried it out yet.
It's good to know about these other libraries for my personal projects, though!
@abucci None taken 😅 NTAs is _at least_ a far better choice than something like Kafka 🤯

@prologic I started to write a snarky twt about Kafka and then deleted it because I didn't want to be too negative 😆
