Hi, Just published a Node.js-based JavaScript REPL for talking to Riak:
https://github.com/CrowdProcess/riak-repl#readme It's a fairly recent small project, but I think this is a missing tool if you use Riak. Still some improvements to do, but it should be fully operational. (riak-repl uses riak-pb (https://github.com/CrowdProcess/riak-pb) underneath, which uses protocol buffers to talk to Riak).
