Hello list, I could not find a working Lua client for beanstalkd [1] so I wrote one [2] called Haricot (French for "bean"). Beanstalk is a simple and efficient in-memory queue that can persist thanks to a binlog. We intend to use Haricot in production at Moodstocks [3] so it will be maintained. It is not documented (yet?) but it follows the Beanstalk protocol [4] rather closely so you can use it as documentation.
