Oban is really awesome, are you inspired by it?
- ent1c3d 3mo agoMaybe kinda shameful, but have to admit I just heard about Oban from you - and it seems an amazing thing. thanks for mentioning it! Re inspiration: no direct inspiration really, just needed this tool myself for my own projects. But I guess this project as my engineering taste was kind of influenced/validated by bright minds like Richard Hipp, Joe Armstrong, and Derek Sivers
- skrebbel 3mo agoTitle said “no overengineering” so I doubt it.
- xlii 3mo agoI would argue that Oban isn't overengineered. If so should we also consider PostgreSQL overengineered? It's a shame OP decided to use Elixir as base, many ecosystems don't have mature task queues (e.g. for Rust I had to roll my own: simple_queue) so the space IMO would be more welcoming. On OTP doubt anything can even make a dent in Oban user base.
- gamache 3mo agoSatisfied former Oban user here. Oban is engineered. Your use-case may be petty, though, like your comment.
