Pleased to see this posted! A lot of design time and effort behind this project (something we'll be speaking about this year). Happy to answer any questions people may have.

Let's hope our Python-using friends will soon discover the joy and ease of using Oban in their ecosystem. Thanks for building Oban!

Truly a great library. I have become so reliant on it, because I can basically have a guarantee that some complex process will run eventually, instead of manually catching and handling every error that might happen and write the 50th retry logic manually.

Hey, first I want to say that Oban has been a lifesaver for me and it is the tool I miss the most from the Elixir ecosystem when doing work in Python. Thanks so much and congrats on the release.

I have one question: are there any plans for interop between Oban and the new Django Tasks[1]?

That's wonderful to hear! Hopefully you can make use of Oban in both places now =)

There aren't any plans at this point, but it's certainly possible.
