Well, that's cool and I'm happy to see a library/tool like this being released. I do have an honest question though, in that is this giving much besides what moxi currently is able to do? I use that in a relatively large-scale memcached production environment and have been pretty happy with it. Guess perhaps I'll have to do some digging between the two.

For memcached, it doesn't look you'd get much in terms of features -- you'd have to benchmark for speed of the library. Worse, it would appear you would lose Multi-get Escalation, which could be substantial for a lot of workloads.
