I like working with folks that know a good pint, and value workmanship.

If you are inferring someone writing software for several decades might share, than one might want to at least reconsider civility over ones ego. Best of luck =3

Neither being German or old are bad values from my point of view. But you tried a bit hard to flex with your past experiences tbh...

Many NDA do not really ever expire on some projects, most work is super boring, and recovering dysfunctional architectures with a well known piece of free community software is hardly grandstanding.

"It works! so don't worry about spending a day or two exploring..." should be the takeaway insight about Erlang/RabbitMQ. Have a wonderful day. =3

Coincidentally another SCADA module we made was handling bi-directional RabbitMQ comms. Not everyone is a one-trick pony :)

With legacy equipment there is usually no such thing as a homogeneous ecosystem, as vendor industrial parts EOL all the time. Certainly room in the markets for better options with open protocols. =3
