 Inside `spawn_compilers`, we first retrieve the PID of the current process with `Process.self` (remember we are talking about Erlang processes/actors and not OS processes) and then proceed to spawn a new process to execute the given function in parallel.

 Second, our main process can now receive a new `{ :waiting, child, module }` message, so we need to extend it to account for those messages.
