Is there any library for the queueing mechanism?

What's used by the most - Cron? But a task or rather script executed by Cron won't access to the context of an application. Meaning, a task will have be an independent unit. Whereas I want is a library to use inside a project such that it'll have access to everything.

Anything similar to Sidekiq exist in Rust?

Best option is probably to add a wrapper around the thread that re-spawns it. But you can also just catch panics in the loop.

How would you re-run it multiple times then? An internal should be progressively greater. How would you terminate it if it continues to produce an exception?
