So yes, that's it. The Redis hidden agenda was to compete with Python (to be honest not a big secret... you can see that Redis works internally as an interpreter in a pretty obvious way), and now that you uncovered it, I'm going to say it aloud: we are going to exit in a few months with a new package system we are working at for 5 years at this point, based on the blockchain (proof of installation), which will kill NPM completely, so with a Python killer + an NPM killer we'll see what mind will be blown.
