Summary:
I suggest we grab our own version of worker-farm, since there are a few changes we'd like to do. There are two reasons for forking:
* the original project does not seem maintained anymore, with a PR remaining unanswered (https://github.com/rvagg/node-worker-farm/pull/42);
* we don't need to keep the level of genericity of the original project: for example, we don't need the option `maxConcurrentCallsPerWorker`, that we always keep to one.
Forking gives us opportunity to simplify the code for our use case. Later on we could reuse it for other projects such as `jest`.
A few things we'd like to do:
* remove special node options from the forks, such as `--inspect`, or even, allow adding special options (if you want to debug a worker specifically for example);
* allow us to pipe `stdout` and `stderr` instead of having transform spit stuff out to the parent process output;
* remove code managing `maxConcurrentCallsPerWorker` and clean up the code in general;
* add `flow` typing.
