Looking at the history of Interix and related topics leads me to believe that the development direction of the MS Windows OS line deprecated generic support for asynchronous process communication. For that reason also, a Node.js helper might provide a valuable solution. For example, developers can create an asynchronous custom interface in a process that may or may not be used by later affiliated workers.

In some cases, it may be efficient & convenient to queue Node.js initiated jobs that communicate with an existing process or element of a thread pool. What does the request look like? Perhaps an open-ended json representation of request sub-type, encoded binary object interpreted by the type…more sugar??? text args, pre-liveness check requested?
