[Cuis-dev] Does anyone know of a Redis client in Cuis?

Hi,

Note: apologies, reposting this as I had originally replied only to
Todd rather than the list.

Thank you for sharing, I skimmed your implementation briefly. It
should help me out a lot!

Also, thanks for sharing the note about RESP3, somehow I missed that
there was a new protocol.

For the moment, I was thinking of just implementing some of the basic
functions, maybe even just the inlined syntax.

Thank you. I definitely agree about the shared memory/fleet. With a
good enough high level library and some integration with the Smalltalk
programming paradigm, this could be a decent minimal attempt at
persisting objects without a full-blown object database.

Sometime after getting my application working with Redis, I will also
look further into the feasibility of a minimal object database. But
for now, one step at a time... I want to write minimal, easy building
blocks... more complex endeavours have led to abandonware in my past
side projects.

Best,
