Update Node.js to utilize the benefits of worker threads for handling CPU-intensive operations.

JavaScript runtimes use a single processing thread, which can cause bottlenecks in Node.js apps handling multiple user requests.

Node.js provides worker threads as a way to offload long-running JavaScript code to separate threads.

Node.js has several features that can enhance your overall development experience, including worker threads, the cluster module, built-in HTTP/2 support, streams API, and REPL.
