Salvatore Sanfilippo - Codemotion Milan 2017 - Interview
summary
Chooses C for Redis development again because it gives fine-grained low-level control, rules out Rust until maturity improves, and credits Redis success to being a simple, general tool that combines an in-memory model with a memory-and-disk duality for performance plus safety. Prioritizes reliability and stability — recounts a production crash traced to a broken memory module — and gives practical OSS advice: start small, build what you use, communicate with your community, and pick licenses that prevent cloud vendors from extracting all value.
