See my response to a sibling of the comment you're responding to. The library had shocking code quality issues. It's unlikely that they're all peachy now.

The other side of this is that while Pieter's writing was marketing genius, it was also woefully understating the complexity of any practical use case. The way I tried to summarize that to folks who were keen to try zeromq then was that they should start at the back of the book with the most complex example, and that's by far the simplest setup that they could hope to end up with once they start thinking about putting something into production. And everything leading up to that - a book no less - was exclusively educational/toy use cases.
