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

Geode also understands Redis protocol, so you can point your Redis clients to Geode. This is interesting because the problem with Redis data structures is that they cannot scale beyond the memory available to the Redis server. The further limitation that Redis server is single threaded and cannot really be scaled up, only makes the problem worse.

With Geode your Redis data structures can scale horizontally.
