I am yet to enconter any project using zeromq.

The whole issue is the infrastructure you can get from such 
eco-systems for large scale deployments.

For example, you a standard way across multiple operating systems 
to:

- message queues, including mainframe systems
- monitoring
- scheduling
- user security, including integration with existing systems and 
multiple authentication levels
- database drivers
- package aplications and deliver them across the cluster
- load balancing schemes
- web development frameworks
- batch processing
- orms
- meta-programming
- cluster based cache systems
- web apis

In C++ you would need to cherry pick different sets of libraries, 
without guarantees of compatibilities across them, with different 
semantics.

And they still wouldn't cover the whole functionality.

Then you will be fighting with compilation times, memory errors 
and so on.
