+// By default, Node.js binaries come with an embedded V8 startup snapshot
+// that is generated at build-time with a `node_mksnapshot` executable.
+// The snapshot generation code can be found in `SnapshotBuilder::Generate()`
+// from `src/node_snapshotable.cc`.
+// This snapshot captures the V8 heap initialized by scripts under
+// `lib/internal/bootstrap/`, including this file. When initializing the main
+// thread, Node.js deserializes the heap from the snapshot, instead of actually
+// running this script and others in `lib/internal/bootstrap/`. To disable this
+// behavior, pass `--no-node-snapshot` when starting the process so that
+// Node.js actually runs this script to initialize the heap.

-// `lib/internal/process/pre_execution.js` or in main scripts. The majority

-// object in a synchronous manner.
