alt Hacker News> Ok, now it sounds like you're blaming unix sockets for someone's shitty code...
No, I am just saying that the unix socket is not Brawndo (or maybe it is?), it does not necessarily have what IPCs crave. Sprinkling it into your architecture may or may not be relevant to the efficiency and performance of the result.
Sorry, what's brawndo? (Searching only gives me movie results?)
We started out discussing AF_UNIX vs. AF_INET6. If you can conceptually use something faster than sockets that's great, but if you're down to a socket, unix domain will generally beat inet domain...
