JavaScript Event Loop and Async Thinking
JavaScript does one main thing at a time on the stack. Finished async work waits in queues. Promise callbacks run before timers after the current stack clears.
A teacher finishes the current student first, then checks urgent sticky notes before moving to the next student in line.
Topic practice prompts
Because resolved promise callbacks go into the microtask queue, and microtasks run before the next macrotask like setTimeout.
- Can too many microtasks hurt responsiveness?
- What else is a microtask?
Last-day revision lines
- Stack first.
- Then microtasks.
- Then next task.
- Main-thread time is user experience.
