Can anyone comment on Geode's non-Java support?

I'm asking because a lot of Java "big data" stuff tend to prioritize Java clients (ZooKeeper, Kafka, Hadoop HDFS, Storm, VoltDB and HBase come to mind), and while there are sometimes clients in other languages, they tend to be second-class citizens that take years to reach feature/performance parity with the Java stuff.

For example, last I checked there still wasn't a mature, feature-complete Kafka client (consumer and producer with built in offset management) for Go.

Gemfire (on which geode is based) has a fully featured c, c++, c# client which has feature parity with the Java client. I don't know if pivotal is going to open source these clients too.

There however is a REST api and a python client https://github.com/gemfire/py-gemfire-rest
