This is a weekend project I started on as a way to learn Go that I quickly realized would be something worth sharing. It lets you queue jobs from Rails that are processed in Go, which can speed things up considerably.

I would appreciate all kinds of feedback, and for anyone who wants to try goworker out, if you give me your email at the bottom of the page, I'll send you my contact info for some free one-on-one help getting started.

Very cool - I just interviewed with a company that is using Sidekiq to process up to millions of jobs (at about 2/sec per worker) and I asked them to look into using Go for workers. I can send this to them.

Awesome! Can you send me your contact info? Mine is in my HN profile.

Would be awesome to have RQ compatibility too ;-) http://python-rq.org

Hmm. I took a look at this and it could be a possibility, but RQ's message format is much different from Resque and Sidekiq's. See https://gist.github.com/benmanns/6583712 for a comparison.
