+/**
+ * The `worker_threads` module enables the use of threads that execute JavaScript
+ * in parallel. To access it:
+ *
+ * ```js
+ * const worker = require('worker_threads');
+ * ```
+ *
+ * Workers (threads) are useful for performing CPU-intensive JavaScript operations.
+ * They do not help much with I/O-intensive work. The Node.js built-in
+ * asynchronous I/O operations are more efficient than Workers can be.
+ *
+ * Unlike `child_process` or `cluster`, `worker_threads` can share memory. They do
+ * so by transferring `ArrayBuffer` instances or sharing `SharedArrayBuffer`instances.
+ *
+ * ```js
+ * const {
+ *   Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData
+ * } = require('worker_threads');
+ *
+ * if (isMainThread) {
+ *   module.exports = function parseJSAsync(script) {
+ *     return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+ *       const worker = new Worker(__filename, {
+ *         workerData: script
+ *       });
+ *       worker.on('message', resolve);
+ *       worker.on('error', reject);
+ *       worker.on('exit', (code) => {
+ *         if (code !== 0)
+ *           reject(new Error(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`));
+ *       });
+ *     });
+ *   };
+ * } else {
+ *   const { parse } = require('some-js-parsing-library');
+ *   const script = workerData;
+ *   parentPort.postMessage(parse(script));
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * The above example spawns a Worker thread for each `parse()` call. In actual
+ * practice, use a pool of Workers for these kinds of tasks. Otherwise, the
+ * overhead of creating Workers would likely exceed their benefit.
+ *
+ * When implementing a worker pool, use the `AsyncResource` API to inform
+ * diagnostic tools (e.g. to provide asynchronous stack traces) about the
+ * correlation between tasks and their outcomes. See `"Using AsyncResource for a Worker thread pool"` in the `async_hooks` documentation for an example implementation.
+ *
+ * Worker threads inherit non-process-specific options by default. Refer to `Worker constructor options` to know how to customize worker thread options,
+ * specifically `argv` and `execArgv` options.
+ * @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v16.4.2/lib/worker_threads.js)
