+nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns.
+It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use.
+
+Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further
+dependencies.
+
+The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic
+blocks for building distributed systems.
+
+By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications.
