I was looking for an article about the Kafka queue system. Is this hackernews or unemployed philosopher news?

I think Franz Kafka is lot more interesting than yet another Apache Java project.

I find that Kafka loses his zeal when the uncertainty of an unformed epistemology is removed. It's in the circular questioning of subjectivity and post modernism that his work takes hold. Move beyond that and what was once existential horror in his writing becomes trivial nuisance.

Hey! An open source distributed messaging stream is just not another Apache Java project. Kafka's made my life a lot easier at work.
