Got fed up with AMQP, so I wrote a HTTP message broker on top of RabbitMQ

Let's draw some parallels in the Kafka ecosystem, in which there are Confluent REST Proxy and Hermes by Allegro. You could say that since Kafka uses a binary protocol over TCP, both of these projects are "moot and useless". Despite that, Allegro aka the Poland's Amazon still maintains that project and uses it in production as a means of HTTP-based communication between their 700+ microservices arguing that it makes their development process easier, since it allows them to abstract away the intricacies of Kafka and use plain HTTP instead.
Tiny message broker written in Go - nothing serious. Born out of COVID-boredom. Would love your suggestions.
