In terms of the aesthetic pleasure you derive from reading the source, or the functionality of the artifact? I mean, saying everything but drivers would be better in js/v8 sounds absurd to me. You think the Linux kernel would be bett

I'm curious if you're using anything other than redis-cli to set the master/slave relationships, and if you have any failover mechanism. I've used corosync/pacemaker for a high-availability redis cluster, but witho
