Isn’t it more accurate to say that they are both based on Resque?

Resque was the main inspiration, Sidekiq still provides compatibility with some of its APIs to this day.

Sidekiq credits BackgrounDRb and Delayed::Job and Resque as inspiration here: https://www.mikeperham.com/2022/01/17/happy-10th-birthday-si...
The API is very close, but architecturally it's different.

Additionally, delayed_job came before resque.
