Hi, As many of you know from twitter/irc I've put together a bare bones PHP client for Bitcask:
http://github.com/videlalvaro/phpcask If some guys/gals here think that this project might be helpful for someone please let me know, so I can spend some more time on it. To name an example where I can improve it is that now is just a PHP Class wrapper around the bitcask API, with no error handling at all. Thinks like that can be improved quite easily. Regards and congratz to Basho for the good work.
