worker thread API for node?

[Brendan Miller]

Is there any plan to implement a worker thread API for node similar to the W3C spec?

http://www.w3.org/TR/workers/

I see that there are third party implementations of this API, but I'm wondering if something like this will end up in the core node distribution.

I'd love to see this, but then, I was also hoping to see isolates, and was imaginging a
perfect fusion of the two. I don't believe there's any plan for either.

There was at least one [1], but it doesn't seem to be maintained
anymore.

Doubtful, since there is already the child_process and/or cluster
module.
