After 4 days I still fell some loss.
For me it was never about speed, but the fact that it protect against detached processes and the awesome debugger.
I think the major issue was that it tried to replace `.fork` and not being a new `.worker` function.
I hope this will be reconsidered someday. _As a free being I'm allowed to hope_

@bnoordhuis you need a testcase I made to ryan back then: `test-isolates-parent-exit.js`
