Why not just use Redis streams for the queue over the Redis list impl.?

New: Streams are append only, but I push eta tasks onto the front of a queue when their time is ready to run. Looks like streams could work and might even be better suited instead of lists, but I would have to figure out some way to run eta tasks before other pending tasks in a queue.

Old when I confused streams with pubsub: Streams aren't durable... a worker goes offline for a second and all of a sudden you lost all your pending tasks. Redis lists are durable, so you can add tasks first then boot up a worker later and the worker will process those waiting tasks. With streams, the worker wouldn't see any pending tasks when it boots.
