My understanding of Akka is that it allows you to define groups of mini-threads (Actors) and then have them communicate with each other (and do work) using events.My understanding of ZeroMQ is that its a TCP socket library that allows threads to communicate with each other over TCP/ports.My question: these seem like very similar concepts. However, I'm sure that in reality, they are meant to solve entirely different problems. So:Intention-wise, what is the difference between these two tools? What different problems do they solve? Are there clear/concrete use cases where one is preferable to the other?
When should I use ZeroMQ and when should I use Akka?
