I want to write in C for a reason. It's everywhere, it already has virtually 
all dependencies in all (posix) systems, it's very easy to deploy and it can 
run *everywhere*. And if python is not available, I'd say rust and goland 
won't be either.

So as I understand, right now only one protocol is implemented - Perspective 
Broker which is only for python clients and AMP is work in progress. Is 
someone working on it? Is there some public branch with current work?
