Add support for Golang (we have tried, and it works! 🚀)

[KTBsomen]

Hi everyone,

We’ve been working on a Go worker library for BullMQ, inspired by Codycody31’s gobullmq and my own fork KTBsomen/gobullmq. It’s a mostly working, duct-taped solution that supports both Redis standalone and cluster modes.

Our goal is to enable seamless integration between Node.js BullMQ producers and Go-based workers, making it easier to build scalable, polyglot job processing systems.

Now, we’d love to get some feedback from the Node.js community:

Has anyone tried something similar?

Any suggestions for improvements or missing features?

Would you be interested in helping test and stabilize the library?

Are there common pain points we should address?

If you’re curious or want to contribute, please check out the repos and share your thoughts:

Thanks for your time and help!

The main thing I can think of is the challenge of keeping the .lua scripts from the main BullMQ package synced with the go version. Also it would be useful if the version number of the go package mimics the version number of the node package, so that it can be easily identified if the are using the exact same .lua scripts and thus compatible with each other.
