Tiny Worker for Node.js

tiny-worker is a lightweight JavaScript library that provides a Web Worker-like API for Node.js environments, allowing developers to offload CPU-intensive tasks to separate threads, similar to the browser's `Worker` interface. It leverages Node.js's `child_process.fork()` module internally, offering a familiar `onmessage`, `postMessage`, and `terminate` API. The current stable version is 2.3.0, with its release cadence historically driven by feature enhancements and bug resolutions rather than a fixed schedule. A key differentiator is its flexibility in module loading within worker scripts, supporting Node.js `require()` by default and offering an `esm: true` option to enable ES6 `import`/`export` syntax, catering to diverse project setups. It is specifically designed for server-side use cases to improve application responsiveness by preventing the main event loop from being blocked by computationally intensive operations.
