Or managing multiple transmissions to several targets concurrently? Or having it done in background? Or dealing with serialization across different hardware platforms? Or having the possibility to intermix high-priority traffic with low-priority one? Or having it all integrated with the language so that you can use standard tasking features to wait, time out, etc. on your communication activities? Or raising the conceptual level to data-centric communication where data providers only care about providing data instead of messing with irrelevant low-level stuff? Or...

There's a lot more to networking than sockets and this is where higher-level solutions can be very helpful.

YAMI4 does provide this level of language integration.
