   Yes! I have just added such an example (see https://github.com/w3reality/async-thread-worker/blob/master/examples/node/simple.js).

   thanks, but what if I need the main script to not use "wait" and wait for a response? and the data from threads came already after sending of all messages in threads?

   result.push(**await** th.sendRequest(payload));

   I think that you can keep the Promise's returned by th.sendRequest(payload), and later, access each result however you like, e.g.

       const result = [];
       for (let payload of ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']) {
           result.push(th.sendRequest(payload));
       }
   
       setTimeout(() => { // wait for the thread to finish sending all the messages
           result[2].then(x => console.log(x)); // C
           result[1].then(x => console.log(x)); // B
   
           th.terminate();
       }, 8000);
