+The `process.moduleLoadList` property returns an array of internal bindings and core modules that
+were loaded during the current Node.js process execution.
+
+```mjs
+import { moduleLoadList } from 'node:process';
+
+console.log(moduleLoadList);
+// ['Internal Binding builtins', 'Internal Binding module_wrap', 'Internal Binding errors', ...]
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { moduleLoadList } = require('node:process');
+
+console.log(moduleLoadList);
+// ['Internal Binding builtins', 'Internal Binding module_wrap', 'Internal Binding errors', ...]
+```
