Announce of lightweight/stripped version of hook.io

[Sergy Korotkov]

Hi guys,

Some time ago I write about some memory issues with hook.io.
Although we get some help with this (many thanks) and we was able to
continue development we still expirience issues with CPU and memory
consumption and stability. With all the magic features hook.io is too
heavy in our vision.
So, we build something very simple that replaces for us everything
that we used from hook.io and published here: https://github.com/sergeyksv/tinyhook
Code is trivial, it uses nssockets (thanks again), don't accept
callbacks in messages (data payload only), effectively dispatch
messages (no rpc call to check if process want some messages) and very
resourse savy.
This is not a replacement for hook.io, this is a clue for some
specific projects as ours (many processes, millions messages a day).

WBR,
Sergey

Sorry for the late reply. 

This looks very good. 

I'm working on releasing hook.io 0.9.0, which should be highly customizable for choosing messaging protocols. using nssocket for the most basic communications is good idea. I'll be doing a very similar approach to this, if not try and merge some of your code.

Thanks!
