I've knocked up a quick prototype ruby client library for redis. So far it supports GET, SET, EXISTS, DELETE and KEYS. Should be able to have a fully compliant library in a few days.

Umm redis is really cool. Nice job on this antirez. I've just finished implementing the entire spec here:

http://github.com/ezmobius/redis-rb/blob/0951204e6a84ca335ac...

And I am really enjoying being able to store lists as values and pushing/popping/indexing. Looking forward to where you are going with this.

Although the current release doesn't seem to support all the documented features yet. incrby and decrby don't work yet.

Can you get in touch? I'd love to pick your brain a little about redis.

Thanks! your implementation is cool and if you agree will just be the Ruby implementation distributed with Redis. INCRBY/DECRBY are still missing but in a week I plan to have this, all the Set operations inside and release another beta. Then will be the time of replication and compression. And finally I plan to write a fail-over daemon that will handle masters and slaves, check who is running and who appears to be down and act accordingly.
