Clarify docs a bit about how Listen() and Dial() translate to bind() and connect() #135

Closed bartekpacia closed 2 years ago

bartekpacia commented 2 years ago

I've lost some time when trying to build a very simple pub-sub (without looking at the examples).

I called Socket.Listen() in my sub, and Socket.Dial() on my pub. It had to be reversed to work. I thought docs could clarify this.

Also, I think it a bit confusing that my publisher calls Listen(), as if it was listening for messages. Why was this named like this?

@sbinet Sure, will do.

Also could you answer my question?

I called Socket.Listen() in my sub, and Socket.Dial() on my pub. It had to be reversed to work. I thought docs could clarify this. Also, I think it a bit confusing that my publisher calls Listen(), as if it was listening for messages. Why was this named like this?

the Dial/Listen pair is the usual Go vocabulary. I felt compelled to follow this naming convention for a pure-Go package.

another way of describing the pub/sub network, if you will, could be:

thanks for the PR :)

another way of describing the pub/sub network, if you will, could be:

  • a publisher listens/waits for new subscribers to subscribe to its feed(s)/topic(s)
  • a subscriber dials/connects to a publisher and subscribes to topics.

I didn't think about it this way. It makes sense now!

the Dial/Listen pair is the usual Go vocabulary. I felt compelled to follow this naming convention for a pure-Go package.

I agree with this choice, thanks for following Go idioms in this awesome module :)
