My feeling is that Redis itself is good enough for job queues so that there is not a huge pressure to improve it with Disque.

I actually implemented yet another job framework[0] for fun in Python with Redis and it was a pleasure. Lua, pub/sub and atomic operations really go a long way!

What I loved about Disque is that it was the magical distributed systems thing that everybody really want for messages safety, but done in a way totally transparent for the user, and it actually worked well enough that there are people keeping using the RC1 for ages... That's why I want to resurrect such a project. The fact that it is multi master, auto federated and auto balancing, and all the auto stuff happen without any user stress, was kinda a good thing. As a Redis module everything will be the same, but, without all the code duplication, because otherwise Disque is like a 5000 lines of code project or alike, if not less.
