+NNG, like its predecessors nanomsg (and to some extent ZeroMQ), is a
+lightweight, broker-less library, offering a simple API to solve
+common recurring messaging problems, such as publish/subscribe,
+RPC-style request/reply, or service discovery.
+The API frees the programmer from worrying about details like
+connection management, retries, and other common considerations, so
+that they can focus on the application instead of the plumbing.
