JavaScript Engine Internals - Launch School Tech Talk - 2019
Tech Talk: JavaScript Engine Internals presented by Launch School student, Tannr Allard.
What happens to your JavaScript code after you execute it? How is the asynchronous nature of JavaScript implemented? What do people mean when they say JavaScript has a "single-threaded" runtime? How does a single-threaded runtime support multi-threading? What are these "threads" anyway?
This talk will answer all of the above questions, and more, with an ultimate emphasis on leveraging one's understanding of JavaScript "under the hood" to produce better code.
