Hello,
I am a practical programmer. I like to make things work good. I don't like walls of text.

Since this crappy reddit wants link or images and as I said I am practical and solve problems, I found a workaround.

Until today I made a lot of software without using what I think are FAD frameworks.


What are the main differences between RabbitMQ and SignalR? There are walls of text around the net about it, no one is clear.

The only difference between these 2 huge frameworks I can see is:

RabbitMQ -> queues -> When something happens I enqueue 1 message. Client takes the message and elaborates. Next client asking a message will get the next message  because the previous one has been already taken. This is the queue functioning.

SignalR -> Identical as above, but when something happens and I enqueue a message (even if it's not a queue, it's like is one), everyone can pick the message and do his job.

So why one shouldn't just do a polling on some database field, or do polling on an API and if field X is changed, get the field value and do the work?

It's the same thing, why they have to put up these big messy (I saw both rabbit and signalr implementations and it's spaghetti smelly code from the beginning to the end) and basically it's an harder way to do a polling, but the fad, as everything, make fad driven programmers write load of unintelligible unrelated (unless you already know the crippled inner workings the frameworks) code (unrelated => you can't understand code unless you know every step of frameworkd, which = BAD, BAD BAD CODE)

Shouldn't you be able to do the thing with one of the 2 frameworks? Enqueue and decide wheter everyone or only one or a group of users should pick/be warned about the message.

Instead there are 1000 frameworks, everyong wants to throw more smelly shit in the programming world in an era where we are flooded with horrible programmers who think they are the next Bill Gates/James Gosling/Donald Knuth writing crappy horrible frameworks which last a few years and are tested by monkeys or they expect the community to test for them and report bugs.

Well, the question is, difference between these 2 horrible and useless craps?
