Congrats on the kid!
I came away with the impression that the focus was on trying something new in order to learn and that a lack of transactions in existing libs was merely the excuse to experiment. There is still the performance issue with his approach, which I am investigating out of curiosity, so I wouldn't worry about it replacing yours.
It's hard not to take criticism personally but there will always be people who think you code is shit and approach all wrong.
BTW - I'm still running a patched version of the latest redis-client in production. Any thoughts about the patch to fix the internal buffer length calculations (changing "Math.max(currentLength * 2, atLeast * 1.1);" to "Math.max(currentLength * 2, offset + atLeast * 1.1);")?

Thanks!
Yeah, I saw this in my fork queue, among other things. I will try to get to them soon! Sorry!

Indeed, I completely suck at taking such in stride!

What I fail to understand is why you cite lack of transaction support in my redis client as a reason to reinvent the wheel.
Transaction support (really, macros) is on my to-do list. Why not fork the project on GitHub, patch it to support MULTI/EXEC/DISCARD, and send me a pull request instead of being passive aggressive?
I have been quite responsive to issues raised on GitHub, but maybe a bit less lately as I have a new baby daughter distracting me from coding (happily!).
