Could i use it on a serverless platform ?
I did something similar
https://github.com/tim-hub/pambdajs
but I haven't done the comparison on aws lambda yet
The reason is: don’t wanna be boring from what I could glean.
What would be nice is a way of preventing the same job running multiple times concurrently. Like if I start a job and a job with the same parameters was already started milliseconds ago then it automatically awaits the already running job rather than starting another.
Neat! I’m friends with the creator of this and teased him a bit about the name (so many of these projects have weird names now a day) The reason is: don’t wanna be boring from what I could glean.

"piscina" in Italian means "pool". A library for worker pools simply named "pool" in Italian doesn't seem that strange :)
It's not clear when or how serialization happens.
Supposedly at some point the message I am sending to the worker is serialized, but this is not made clear to the user and it's not made clear when this happens.
A well-designed library would synchronously serialize the given object the moment it is passed in or let the user explicitly handle serialization. But I don't think that's what is happening here.
It appears messages are serialized only eventually and when they are finally sent off to a worker.
If you accidentally pass mutable state in here, you're in for a really confusing and fun debugging session. Likely it'll be a production-only bug too, because during development and testing you're unlikely to have the kind of message volume required to run into some modified-before-sent condition.
CTRL-F "mutable" and CTRL-F "serialize" gives no results, so I don't think the designers thought of this or thought to warn users.
Is it just me, or do I see a trend in naming projects using romance language words (Italian/Spanish/France)? Does it sound more exotic? Are these words less crowded?
You needn't use your real name, of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=community%20identity%20by:dang...
Does anybody use this or anything similar? If so, what problems are you solving?
I’m guessing the fact that node is single threaded
