RESP possible break change note #51

RESP represents Redis Serialization Protocol. In the future, maybe we should consider a new protocol to replace it, but the format could support back compatible with redis or it will be break change

Interesting note!

Anywhere R is used in an acronym we could just say it now stands for Replacement or Reusable and it still works.

Also for any future API or protocol matching, copying API formats and protocols isn't restricted: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/supreme-court-finds-google-s-copying-of-1447009/

That's true. For this thread I'm more concerned about Redis changing the RESP format (maybe doing a RESP4). I think for now the risk is really small.
