Description

It's available as of v11—isn't it better than process.nextTick? https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#queuemicrotaskcallback

https://github.com/graphql/dataloader/blob/d336bd15282664e0be4b4a657cb796f09bafbc6b/src/index.js#L239-L255

Just a question...

Thanks, A.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare queueMicrotask and process.nextTick in Node.js, and evaluate whether replacing process.nextTick with queueMicrotask in DataLoader's scheduler (src/index.js lines 239-255) is appropriate, considering differences in timing, error handling, and compatibility.
