    > I'd bet Redis is actually lighter weight than an HTTP request It is. Here's a cool, non-relevant example of one implementing a Redis clone in Haskell (on HN a month or so ago): https://honza.ca/2015/09/building-a-redis-clone-in-haskell The relevant portion is where they parse the protocol, not bad at all (especially compared to HTTP)
