Here are some of my fundamental thoughts/questions: First of all, I believe that software which can only build software or text has _some_ use but is not _fundamentally_ useful. While...

But what if we get rid of 3D altogether? My thinking is something you specify the 2D shapes via code -- but there is an editor "plugin" so when you...

Awesome, I thought that was the jist of what you said before but I wanted to make sure. The purpose of Civboot is not to have robots build everything for...

From looking at the source code, it seems that it supports the ZMQ_DEALER socket and something called CHANNEL, which I don't see in the [zmq socket documentation](http://api.zeromq.org/4-0:zmq-socket) How difficult would...

Delving deeper into the zmq documentation, it looks like one could build majordomo on top of this library, but pub/sub is completely different. Is that about right?

What about a memory manager? Do you use `malloc`ed data that you later `free`? Does the system have to have ways to deal with defragmentation?

The reason I ask is because I have written a memory manager for microcontrollers, [tinymem](https://github.com/cloudformdesign/tinymem). It is currently in Alpha state (usable but needs more tests and features), but it...

I've looked over how zmq actually does it's filtering, and I'm worried that it is not a protocol that can be realistically ported to microcontrollers. I've wondered for a while...

That's good to hear. So how much memory do you think a publisher would take under various conditions? Do you really think it is doable on a microcontroller? I've just...
