Becoming a full Redis implementation in Go

This project started to see how easy it is to implement a full Redis clone in Go. As one of the side effects, imagine you could write redis modules in Go, that would be awesome!

Get involved!

This project is in work-in-progress, so share ideas, code and have fun.

The goal is to have all features and commands like the actual redis written in C have. We are searching contributors!
