@dominic Web Workers are actually a decent way of achieving sandboxing. I know of a frontend developer doing that for (third-party) plugins in the frontend (as an alternative to iframes), for security purposes.

We could try using that for scuttlebot. There are some Worker polyfills for node: https://github.com/avoidwork/tiny-worker and I already built all the libraries for muxrpc/multiserver over Workers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/multiserver-worker and https://github.com/staltz/pull-worker
