On: Gnatsd: a high performance NATS messaging server written in Go

[clumsysmurf]

At first glance, NATS looks similar in goal to MQTT. Can anyone describe the differences?

NATS is the pub-sub messaging protocol and implementation created by Derek Collision, who architected the first iteration of Cloud Foundry. It is a simple pub-sub service at its core, but the Ruby and NodeJS clients implement various messaging patterns similar to what is supported by ZeroMQ. It is used extensively within Cloud Foundry.

After some googling, I found this description here[1]. It sounds like a straightforward pub-sub server (similar to redis pub/sub?).
