zmq is not a message broker like rabbitmq. its more like a concurrency library. it kinda feels like working with sockets, except its not just sockets.

This is not entirely accurate. The difference is that ZeroMQ doesn't have a centralized broker, not that it doesn't allow you to work with sockets. Lots of ZeroMQ projects utilize sockets for communication. In fact, because there isn't a broker, ZeroMQ gives you more freedom as to the underlying communication medium.
