@abstracted.away: JavaScript can only do ONE thing at a time. So how does it handle: 🌐 Network requests ⏰ Timers 🖱️ User clicks ...without freezing? The answer is the Event Loop. A surprisingly simple idea that powers asynchronous JavaScript. Once this clicks, a lot of "weird" JavaScript behavior suddenly makes sense. #javascript #coding #computerscience

the answer is that we effectively simulate multi threading with workers 😅

but you have workers for new threads and spawn for new instances (Atleast in bun server side)

Oh my god this is single handedly the best video describing how javascripts single threaded event loop works that I've ever seen. Bravo to the creators. As someone who learned java, c++ first, I always had trouble understanding what the point of callbacks and anonymous functions were and how they fit into the greater picture.
