I just want to add my voice to the many thanking antirez for Redis.
Back when I discovered it (probably through Resque), my mantra was "NoSQL is fraud" as I was yet to find a NoSQL database that I trusted with my data (yes, I know Redis isn't strictly a NoSQL database - or at least wasn't at the time).
But reading the docs and looking at how it worked, it shone through how carefully thought out and well-crafted it was. And this was without even looking at the source code (I haven't done any C for years and doubt I would understand it anyway).
It's amazing how that excellence shines through beyond the code and it's still one of my go-to tools (I mainly work with Rails, so can't avoid it to be fair) - so thank you again Salvatore.
