You are right, frameworks do have significant learning curves. Still, if a framework can (potentially) satisfy your needs, even if it looks very complex, you shouldn't be afraid to take a closer look. You can probably filter out most of the frameworks by reading the readme. No need to learn and compare all of them (unless you are scientifically interested of course 😉). Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Among other things, he lists quite a few frameworks, some of which haven't been mentioned yet (see timestamp 19:32). I couldn't find the slides, so here is my attempt to restore the links: Composed System STREAM (bitbucket) Dave Snyder Lap Dog API (GitHub) Delacor DQMH (product page) James Powell Messenger Library (bitbucket) JKI State Machine Object (built on JKI State Machine) (GitHub) Mark Balla Message Routing Architecture (LAVA) NI Actor Framework (part of LabVIEW) NI Distributed Control and Automation Framework (DCAF) (product page) S5 ALOHA Application Framework (product page) Event Source Actor Package (NI forums)
