And there's a Ruby client to start playing with it: https://rubygems.org/gems/disque

I'm excited to see what comes out of this. I'm a huge fan of Redis, mainly because it gives you a bunch of really tiny, easy-to-understand primitives that you can combine to make something very powerful. I don't know if this will follow the same philosophy, but I'll be keeping a close eye on this as it evolves.

I would say that Disque follows the minimalistic philosophy of Redis. However, Disque is a specialization of one of the most common use cases of Redis: queues. So I wouldn't expect so many primitives--Disque knows about jobs and queues, so you don't have to build those yourself like people have been doing on top of Redis.

Are people pronouncing this word like "Diskqueue"?

It's like "Resque" but with "Di" (as in distribute) instead of "Re"

I've assumed it's a phonetic play, and that it's pronounced "dis queue" as in "this queue."

Can somebody help me better understand the possible uses for something like this?

Looking forward to giving this a try - we currently use an offshoot of "resque" for the Java ecosystem called "jesque", but it's always good to explore alternatives.
