Gotape is a golang port of the atomic QueueFile that is part of the Tape
implementation by Square. It is a file-based FIFO queue with O(1) atomic
operations. Writes to the queue file are synchronous and the integrity of the
file will survive process/system crashes.
The original Tape implementation is written separately in Java and C to support
Android and iOS, respectively. We want the same QueueFile backing our
persistent task queue to work for both Android and iOS, but with shared code
base. Since we are already using gomobile binding, it is natural to port
to golang.
