Oh, interesting. It didn't occur to me to search GitHub, but I did verify that there was no Redis client in the official package directory before starting. Anyway, the Redis API & protocol are pretty simple - I think I've spent about 6 hours on the project so far, including a lot of documentation-checking. > > > If would be good to see some performance numbers.

I don't know much about database performance testing - any suggestions about where to start with that? BTW, I was considering writing a wrapper to the hiredis C library, but it looked like Julia doesn't provide a good facility for handling the structs that are returned by some of the hiredis functions - and I'm not much of a C programmer, so I figured a pure Julia client would be a much safer way to go. -- Matt Gushee
