The article says Redis is the latest one to pull this shit. Well, today the Linux foundation announced Valkey. If I ran Redis in production I'd go all hands to switch today.
Microsoft released Garnet last week. Which is meant to be a drop in replacement with 10x the performance, written entirely in C# (incredibly accessable vs C++).
MIT licence, like most of the rest of their tools/libs/frameworks.
Nice part here is that they dog food it, since it's used at scale. So problems tend to get patched quickly by paid devs, while the FOSS community gets to bake in the features they want.
What do you mean by C# is "accessable" vs C++? Do you mean it as readability? Or the software availability (compiler, and the tooling behind the language)?
It's a high level memory managed language. Usually this by itself means it's an accessible language.
Combine that with .Net being one of the better if not the best standard libraries/frameworks out there, and it being one of the top five most popular languages in the world, means it's highly accessible to new and experienced programmers.
