I've spent a good amount of time setting up message-based infrastructures, so I decided to make a tool that would allow me to set up localhost friendly, network available message queues much quicker so I could try out all the things I wanted.

So here is Mess(age)Q(ueue). Something I've quickly thrown together. I will work on it later to get it more performance oriented, but right now it is good to go for smaller projects.

@RubyGems: https://rubygems.org/gems/messQ

$ messQ -enq $USER
$ messQ --enqueue $HOME
[+] Dequeue 2 values from Queue

$ messQ -deq
$ messq --dequeue
[+] Stop Server
$ messQ --stop
