Your critique is well received. The Apache Kafka project has support for the Java clients and the non-java clients will be developed and available in a federated manner. At Confluent, we are focused on providing first class non-java clients that are API and functionality compatible with the java clients. Forthcoming releases of the Confluent Platform will include a C/C++, python and node.js client. Stay tuned http://www.confluent.io/developer#download

For those that don't realize it, Neha and Jay were two of the main developers who wrote Kafka.

Thanks for the heads up!

We've been using Kafka for almost two years already. Still lots of our codebase is Ruby, and Poseidon is not really that great client library. It's slow and it's not threadsafe.

In our Scala-side we're happy with the current offering.

The C/C++ client, will that be librdkafka? If I need a high-quality client for another language, would you recommend building that using librdkafka or the rest proxy?
Is anyone working on Go bindings for 0.9?
