We discussed preImport last time; I forgot to remove the agenda label until just now. I don’t think there’s anything else to discuss at the moment, or is there? Anything about moving loaders off-thread? @JakobJingleheimer @bmeck

[JakobJingleheimer]

I think I'll first tackle a couple tidy tasks (ex add some more test cases), which I think will be useful to have before the off-thread work. I expect the tidy stuff to be fairly quick and unobjectionable.

But if anyone has a strong preference, do LMK.

PS Does anyone know when the next release is?

[cspotcode]

There's that bug(?) on node nightly where calling `runMain` causes loaders in the chain to be re-added and thus duplicated, might be worth looking at before the next release as well. Is there a ticket for moving loaders off-thread? If not, I assume we should make one? Since design considerations and potential gotchas have already been brought up, but not a great place to put them.

Link?

There isn’t, that I can find. Would you like to make one? The one that comes closest seems to be #13.

[GeoffreyBooth]

PS Does anyone know when the next release is?

nodejs/Release#737

[JakobJingleheimer]

PS Does anyone know when the next release is?

nodejs/Release#737

What? No, I mean 18.5.0 or whatever

[cspotcode]

Here is a Slack link regarding the runMain loader duplication behavior:
https://openjs-foundation.slack.com/archives/C01810KG1EF/p1653603118031189

Probably best for the folks heading up the off-thread task to create that ticket. Seems like they have ideas about how it's supposed to go? And then the rest of us can add our comments.

[JakobJingleheimer]

Are we cancelling or meeting today?

[GeoffreyBooth]

No agenda, so I guess we cancel.
