How is the instantiation of an environment handled in multiple-worker settings? Should I run
```julia
using Distributed
@everywhere begin
using Pkg
Pkg.activate(".")
end
```
? I do seem to get some warning messages about access to caches during pre-compilation and such. Should then the activation of the environment be performed only on the process 1?

Bump. Any parallel-computing experts still up?

The best discussion I am aware of is [Packages and workers - #9 by teored90](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/packages-and-workers/14072/9), which links to this issue: [Workers should inherit Pkg environment · Issue #28781 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28781). As far as I am aware, `Pkg`/code-loading does not provide any mechanisms to further streamline the process.

Great find, thanks a million!
