I've been using isolated-vm for refloat.io, but ended up switching to the native Node.js vm API after having issues getting its native module to run with vercel/pkg.
One big difference is isolated-vm allows creating a separate v8 Isolate, separating the memory heaps, making it safer to run untrusted code. I don't think we can do that with the native Node.js API yet.
