Yes indeed, astonishingly, people do thing for reasons other than money.
However, even if this was a commercial project, this would still be the correct decision. Innovating new features, polishing and making Redis even better is exactly what @antirez should be doing.
Make an awesome product. Not a half-assed one that runs on every device / os / mobile under the sun. I've seen more than one project dissolve in mediocrity under the pressure of trying to do that.
- brass9 15y agoAt times, antirez does appear to be a bit bone-headed. In the early days of redis (pre-1.0 I think) I (among several others) had sent him patches to incorporate unix domain socket support into redis server/client. Not to mention, the patches were summarily rejected by Salvatore. Google "unix socket redis" and you'll find numerous patches developed by several authors for redis 1.x - none of them made it into the official release. Curiously, I noticed unix sockets had been officially added in version 2.2.0.
