D-Bus has existed for about a decade if not more. As far as I can
tell, ZeroMQ has existed for a few years. Also, D-Bus is written in
the fashion that matches how the GTK API which is a C API. libdbus
has lots of language wrappers.
D-Bus is more for RPC than IPC which is an issue as there is no
standard in POSIX for RPC.
Thanks Gravis for putting exact data in the discussion It makes
more sense.
Nevertheless, I think RPC is overkill for DE's interaction with
hardware events. I guess it is mostly dedicated to provide Gnome's or
KDE's integrated apps a better interaction with their respective
window-manager than foreign apps.
I must confess I discovered ZeroMQ recently; it looks like the
thing the programmer always needed since the advent of networking. I was
blaming myself for not having used it in a multi-host+multi-language
project started 7 years ago, but, well, it didn't exist yet :-).
