redis-object is useful but it's not closer to Redis. In terms of functionality, it is comparable to Nest (http://github.com/soveran/nest), but because it translates Redis commands to Ruby syntax, it has 1026 lines of code vs Nest's 32. Ohm, which in your view is not close to Redis and more complex, is actually closer because it uses Nest to solve that problem (and it's just 764 lines of code, 262 less than redis-objects).
