node-webworker and node 0.8.x

[rgermano]

Hello

Are there any plans to get node-webworker running on node 0.8.x? I'm currently getting the following error on node 0.8.0 and webworker 0.8.4. Is the cluster module a correct replacement for webworkers? Thanks!

/Users/rgermano/node_modules/webworker/lib/webworker.js:35 var netBinding = process.binding('net'); ^ Error: No such module at Object. (/Users/rgermano/node_modules/webworker/lib/webworker.js:35:26) at Module._compile (module.js:449:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:467:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Module.require (module.js:362:17) at require (module.js:378:17) at Object.

It looks like netBinding isn't used anyways.

+1. I'm also having this issue.

Better to use Child processes spawned using the require('child-process') rather than the node-webworker implementation, since there are some changes on the latest node. So I think unless the node-webworker is updated it would be wise to use either the "fork, spawn" methods to do the work.
