Error when using readline.question()

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))
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
