A comment on Memcached 1.6. Parent comment

CPU is cheap and memcached has no advanced data structures. If you're using them then you'll probably have to reimplement everything yourself in memcached with less efficiency.

You can always just JSON-encode whatever you’re putting in there and decode on the way out. Though I couldn’t imagine using it for pub/sub like the parent commenter is doing with redis.

Which is inefficient and pointless compared to just using Redis with data structures that you can manipulate directly.
