Description

Hi! Do you think you could include a way to pass Transferable objects correctly? It would be great to be able to return a MessagePort so that the function can return a stream instead of a single value.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to extend workerize loader to support Transferable objects, such as MessagePort, by modifying the way the loader wraps worker functions to allow passing transferable data through the Web Worker's postMessage API.
