Status: ✅✅ (i.e. the second stage of done)
I wanted to pick a small project and have a look at what's going on under the hood, so I picked etsy/statsd.
$ go install github.com/jpatel531/stickyd
$ $GOPATH/bin/sticky path/to/config.json
The configuration file is similar to the original. The difference is that this port doesn't support the pickle protocol, and there is no dynamic importing of backend or frontend interfaces.
This wasn't built to be used, just as a nice educational kata.
