Shameless plug; I've been playing with a [Redis Server implementation in Go](https://github.com/jan-carreras/ddia) for the past weeks. Mainly as a way to try out things explained in Designing Data-Intensive Applications book (favourite of mine!). Those are the [commands implemented](https://github.com/jan-carreras/ddia/blob/master/commands.md), + TTL + AoF files (for state replication) + config file, ... The "challenge" was to do it without any external dependency other than go stdlib.

100% agree with your advice; I'll definitively try to implement other parts of the Redis service in Go (eg: pub/sub, replication, clustering...) and probably repeat the same exercise when learning any new language.
