Very interesting, thanks! I actually already had read and bookmarked
it back in February[1], but forgot!

You pointed out that both Starling and MemcacheQ require clients to
poll the servers for new jobs. Interestingly, Kestrel supports
"blocking fetch"[2].

The other problems — "neither has positive job completion
acknowledgments, crash handling, priorities, delays, or any room for
them" — definitely make sense to me and probably still apply to
Starling and Kestrel.

Thanks!
