A wrapper is not entirely useless. It can use features of C++ like shared / unique pointers, lambdas, w/e to make working with redis in a C++ code base more C++ like. This takes advantage of all the features from C++ while hiding the low level C interface (which I assume uses manual memory management for instance).
