Many Temporal users used Celery in the past. There was a popular blog post a while back about issues with celery: https://steve.dignam.xyz/2023/05/20/many-problems-with-celer.... Here's a brief heading-by-heading listing of how Temporal addresses those issues: https://community.temporal.io/t/suggestion-for-blog-post-abo....

(disclaimer, I'm the author of the post)

The "API isn’t Pythonic" examples are misleading, the first and third are using more verbose forms of:

  add.delay(1, 2)

The verbose forms are for when you want extra functionality like in the second example.

It's relatively small compared to the other issues but it sticks out because it's one of only two listed as "you'll have to live with it".
