Alexander,
Thanks for the bindings! I would like to bring this thread back to its
original subject. Since I live in a different cave (i.e. I do not know
what Redis is) I visited the link you provided. The Redis's homepage
is very terse and tells me that Redis is a generic keey/value store,
aka data-structure-server. Would you, please, provide your insight
insofar its usability like when/why/how would one want to use
Redis/Heredis and by extension your bindings? Also, what advantage
Heredis+your_bindings have over two existing Lua+LuaSocket Redis
client implementations you mentioned in your post above?

Thanks again for your time and effort!!
