What the heck is the event loop anyway? | Philip Roberts | JSConf EU
JavaScript programmers like to use words like, “event-loop”, “non-blocking”, “callback”, “asynchronous”, “single-threaded” and “concurrency”.

If you’re anything like me, you nod and agree, as if it’s all obvious, even though you don’t actually know what the words mean; and yet, finding good explanations of how JavaScript actually works isn’t all that easy, so let’s learn!
With some handy visualisations, and fun hacks, let’s get an intuitive understanding of what happens when JavaScript runs.
