And an extra note when someone says "it's hard to implement ... without locks and so". Look at Firefox. I dumped it's bushy tail around 7 years ago when switching to the apple-scented world for good.

I came crawling back. Why? Because people at Mozilla spent their time working on their product, finally coming to agreement that the fact your product is OS doesn't mean you can cut your standards in half focusing on features you like instead the ones that actually make it better.

Here's the link in case someone missed it https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/11/entering-the-quantum-era-h.... I'm not a Mozilla fanboy, to be frank for a while foxy browser scored lower on my "software like scale" than Redis.

And they won me over. In 5 minutes. And it's been proven time and time again that performance is a feature.

p.s. Now that I write it I realize that for certain reasons I should just try to write the damn thing and instead of writing pointy comments let antirez rip my software apart :)
