My question may sound silly here. What’s the advantage of an isolated-vm over async function with graceful error handling/time out?

Isolated-vm was originally developed for the game screeps. It’s a programming game where each player’s code is ran on the server, so isolated-vm helps with both runtime issue (one player’s code crashing not affecting everyone else on the same node) as well as adding some security benefits.
