I get this error with the following code

import process from 'node:process'
import readline from 'node:readline'

let intf = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout
});

intf.question('Enter name :', name => console.log(name))

error: Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined
  intf.question('Enter name :', name => console.log(name))

Ah that is a bug in the node compatibility layer in deno. Looks like it tries to access the process global before it's set as a global. I got a fix working locally
