    First I was excited, then I saw that it's based on DDS.

      why the hate on DDS?

      seems like a perfect fit.

        DDS is the least bad of the stuff that has come out of OMG, but it's not a nice middleware still. There is no underlying algebra of that composes nicely when compared to Zenoh for example, and the "vendor independence" and compatibility is usually a joke. There's a reason ROS is moving away from it again.

          Do you have any references for this? It is quite a bold statement to make without any basis to validate it against.

          I'm asking as I'm not a fan of DDS, so very curious the direction they are actually heading into, and I haven't found a reference for this yet.
