This is really cool. Can queues be bounded, as well as rate-limited? (I built my own Redis-backed distributed queue system long ago because I needed bounded queues with backpressure, which no other libraries seemed to offer: http://github.com/psobot/pressure)

Currently building out http://forever.fm, an automatically-beatmatched radio stream of popular music from around the web. Built out the real-time music streaming backend in a mix of Python, C++ and Golang, just submitted the iOS client to the App Store, and am currently finishing up the Android client. (Along the way, I also built my own distributed, persistent version of Unix pipes on Redis: http://github.com/psobot/pressure)
