I’ve been frustrated with Celery, so I ran an experiment: could today’s LLMs build a better Python task queue?
My wish list:
• Defaults that don’t lose your jobs
• Free-threaded Python
• Django tasks
• Native broker features (SKIP LOCKED, quorum queues…)
• Celery-compatible
A couple of weeks later, it runs all my projects in production. 🎉
I called it potatoq 🥔 It’s still in alpha, but feedback welcome!
