There is now a C++ client. Those who had been using the python client should probably switch to it (its semantics are identical, it runs on Linux and under Wine, so I assume Windows) and it is much, much faster than the python client.
Any chance you or someone else could port/compile/brew a Mac C++ version?
I tried porting and compiling myself but all the includes FUBAR'd the attempt. Or, I just need more coffee before I try again.
Been running the Java client for awhile now, but can we get the jar added to the Git Repository too alongside the other clients? It'll make keeping up-to-date much easier.
