Redis is an in-memory data structure store that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kinds of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes. It is somewhat like Memcached, but persistent.
Redis is implemented in C with a test suite written in Tcl. The test suite includes a Tcl client library .
The first version of Redis, then called "LMDB" (unrelated to LMDB), was itself implemented in Tcl. SS has published its source code as a Gist on GitHub.
Retcl is an event-driven, object-oriented, Redis client library targeting the Tcl scripting language.
Things that Retcl does which are missing in Salvatore's client are:
You can find a basic Redis client library for Jim Tcl (which was originally another project of antirez) in jimhttp. The library also works in Tcl 8.6 or later.
