R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ. NNG is a socket library implementing 'Scalability Protocols', a reliable, high-performance standard for common communications patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and service discovery, over in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS transports. As its own threaded concurrency framework, provides a toolkit for asynchronous programming and distributed computing, with intuitive 'aio' objects which resolve automatically upon completion of asynchronous operations, and synchronisation primitives allowing R to wait upon events signalled by concurrent threads.
