What is the problem this feature will solve?

I notice that Blob's transfered over workers aren't readable at all.

  • it only applies to blobs coming from fs.openAsBlob
  • in-memory constructed blobs works fine.

Right now they throw an error when trying to send them over.

mini repro:

import { Worker } from 'worker_threads'
const worker = new Worker('./worker.js')
worker.once('message', blob => {
  // Should be fine to do this as well
  blob.text()
})
// worker.js
import { parentPort } from 'node:worker_threads'
import { openAsBlob } from 'node:fs'

const blob = await openAsBlob(new URL(import.meta.url))
parentPort.postMessage(blob)

If a blob originates from a worker thread and is being sent to the main thread over postMessage, then it should still work OK to read the blob even if the worker is terminated.
