hiredis

Not really. Python is sufficiently order-of-magnitudes slow, that it is not possible to implement pure python low level primitives. There are no pure python low level primitives; everything is either a) wrapper, or, b) slow as hell and uses memory like a hog. Python that wraps another language is a perfectly good way to doing things; but those low level primitives are never written in python. ...and neither are the low level primitives used in this case (—-> https://github.com/redis/hiredis).

A few years ago, I dabbled with the idea of building a "shared clipboard" application across platforms and decided to use Redis - esply the pub/sub mechanism - for this. I ended up discovering and using hiredis[0] (which I can see now was co-authored by antirez as well). I'm curious to know if hiredis can be used from C++ 11 as well.
