resque: queue.enqueue(job_selector, arg1, arg2)

resque_enqueue.rb

# in response to https://twitter.com/#!/avdi/status/138513455622791168

# Yes, resque's enqueue API is wacky, but in practice it's not a problem,
# because it's trivial to route around.

# This is untested, and skips any resque enqueue hooks you might have setup.
# but those aren't major hurdles to fix.
class ResqueQueueWrapper
  def initialize(queue, resque=Resque)
    @queue = queue
    @resque = resque
  end
  def enqueue(receiver_constant, *args)
    unless receiver_constant.respond_to? :queue
      def receiver_constant.queue; "trick the stupid resque API"; end
    end
    @resque::Job.create(@queue, receiver_constant, *args)
  end
end

queue = ResqueQueueWrapper.new("queue_name")
queue.enqueue(JobName, arg1, arg2)

# But I've never done this, because in practice the following is Good Enough:
module JobName
  extend self
  def queue;          :queue_name                 end
  def enqueue(*args); Resque.enqueue(self, *args) end
  def perform(*args)  DoStuff.with(*args)         end
end
JobName.enqueue(arg1, arg2)

Notice that JobName.enqueue is 9 parts sugar, 1 part keeping the enqueuing system decoupled from the job requestors.
