Have Redis and Memcached aged so much we need a modern replacement? Or is this a webdevy 'modern' which just means the first commit is newer than redis' first commit?
Modern as the entire architecture is based on papers from the last few years. But also the first commit :)
memcached was born in 2003.
Redis was born in 2008. Both have strength and weaknesses. DF tries to unite them into a single backend and keep the strengths of each one of them.

The docs make some of the differences clear. Worth reading the GitHub repo readme.
