“Recently I was taking a look at RabbitMQ to do some of the queuing I need for a system I work on at Fidgt. At the time when I looked at it, AMQP seemed obtuse and unnecessarily complex, and I went with whipping up my own simple queue implementation in erlang. This as it turns out is very easy, though I'm sure my design is naive. But this post isn't about that, and in fact I'm pretty sure there's a good use case for building very simple, context specific queues in erlang simple because of the reduction in overhead, both conceptually and in terms of performance. This post is about a series of events that have lead up to the release of a neat server and XMPP bot by the folks at RabbitMQ.
