Isolates are *not* a feature of node, Isolates are a part of v8 and aren't deprecated nor going to be removed. > I also think that the way it works under the covers also incurs performance > impacts because it ends up implementing threading which is slow. That's funny because every process in your machine *is* a thread (at least one thread), and nearly 100% of them have more than a thread, e.g. FYI a node process normally uses 3 (and up to 5) threads itself. Right now in my Mac as I write this, there are 64 processes and 270 threads running, simply because threads are the essential building block to achieve concurrency and parallelism:

Right, the hello world http server in nodejs.org front page doesn't need it. -- Jorge.
