Improve the ability to scale a Dart application using isolates

[sgjesse]

This is a meta-bug for tracking usability of isolates.

It covers:

  Finalize the dart:isolate library for both the VM and dart2js
  Build a package with abstractions on top of dart:isolate
  Sending top-level/static functions to isolates created with Isolate.spawn.
  Share server sockets between isolates

What about transferable typed arrays?
Sending big data chunks without copying it should help scaling isolates.

I would also vote for the ability to not have to copy arrays of typed data. We can do this already with TransferableObjects in JS. (http://updates.html5rocks.com/2011/12/Transferable-Objects-Lightning-Fast)
It would be awesome to have the same semantics as above, and have dart2js compile to web workers and use transferable objects.

Will this fix using websockets in isolates (client side) ?
it's very blocking and JS can do it.
