> It’s weird how people are trying so hard to convince others that the virus came from nature sources when it’s obvious now it didn’t.

It's not weird at all, as the host of the biggest virology podcast (TWiV) said, "lab leak confirmation would be the biggest scandal in the history of science".

The field of virology would be decimated by the fallout. No wonder almost all the virologists are circling the wagons and are desperate for any shred of evidence pointing away from WIV.

It took me two days to learn it's specifics 3 years ago, and after that I never-ever had a problem with it. ItJustWorks(TM).

In this sense it's a bit like Sqlite, which also JustWorks, as opposed to something like Postgres which requires more fiddling and maintenance.

And functionally, it allowed me to create a service-bus topology where multiple processes can post messages on a set of subjects that can be subscribed by multiple other processes (think stock market quotes). This pattern is surprisingly difficult to implement in other message brokers.

A real modern communication would be something like NATS (somewhat similar to ZeroMQ in concepts). It's quite amazing, even more frictionless than ZeroMQ.
