Hi @juansalvatore! Thanks for reporting

This seems to be an issue with browser compatibility and transpiling. What is probably happening is that your build (and CodeSandbox's) is targeted to browsers previous to array destructuring so it gets transpiled and that invokes some functions which are not available on worker side. (The reference error mentioning babel you're seeing in the error message)

The second bug you're mentioning seems to be related to functions not being available on the worker side. We're now working on support for those! 😄 (details in #98)

Let me see if I can make a repro locally and make changes from our side to make it work, or at least add some warnings

@zant Any update on this?

This is due to webpack transpiling your code. When you use ... to destructure an array, webpack will transpile this code, and change ... to use some other utility to copy the array. This will make your function impure.
