process.nextTick is not scheduled differently, the module's execution is scheduled differently (specifically, it is a microtask). I think we should be careful of our wording here so people don't get confused.

I think it is because the mjs module is loaded by promise, so after Node.js execute the code of mjs module, it will handle the microtask(except for tasks created by nextTick) created by mjs module. But the js module is loaded synchronously, so it is different. Is it right ?
