This is actually very similar to your idea. Each worker is executed in a separate v8 instance and napa provides a way to communicate between workers. A bit more efficient since you dont carry container runtime around.

So, Perl ithreads then?
It works for specific types of work, but not necessarily as a low cost abstraction unless you pre-thread. In other words, it works well for some cases where threads are used, and horribly for others.
