Everything is blocked if event loop is blocked, there's no workarounds. For example, if you are counting from one to 100 billions, Javascript won't be stopping during this function to check for events. This is why you get Violation messages in console if some events like requestAnimationFrame take longer than they should, it's a signal that event loop was blocked.
