what about using swig to write client protocol? we just need to select what language and compile.. no time spend creating one interface for each language
That'd be inconvenient for at least me. I rarely develop and deploy on the same OS, and my deployment for java apps is basically build + rsync. This is especially difficult when I deploy multiple applications that use a memcached client into a single app server (I think I have six or eight or so at home).
I don't think FFI is a way to go in the general case. It'd still require a lot of work to make the interface not be awkward and probably even more to fit into a reasonable native event loop.
