Description Martin Renvoize 2021-02-24 19:42:22 UTC
Our worker does not fork to run tasks, so if a task explodes, the worker it brought down with it... that is bad.

Agreed.

It should be forking. Even if we wrapped the processing in an eval{}, we should still be forking from a memory efficiency perspective.
