Note: --useChildProcesses
has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version, as it is redundant, has no advantages, and can be replaced with the better option of using worker threads
, the current default. It's one less option and less code to maintain. the child process
option also originated at a time when worker threads
weren't yet available in node.js, and handler reloading in the in-process
mode was buggy and leaking memory.
