WHY?

For fun. This is not intended to be used in production, however I'm focusing in using pypy to boost performance. I'm planning to have some sort of storages and add a possibility to persist data.

What is working?

• Get, set, add, replace and delete functions.
• Key expiration.
• Support for custom storages.
