What this post added

This post details the identification and resolution of a bug in the Node.js child process module that affected the handling of messages when using ECMAScript modules. The bug was characterized by a delay in message dispatching, requiring a workaround with setTimeout. The solution, proposed by Anna Henningsen and refined through community collaboration, involves enqueuing messages and dispatching them once the child process is ready, rather than introducing a new 'ready' event. This fix improves the reliability of background task execution in Node.js.
