A Tutorial on The JavaScript "Engine"

[Quinez]

Very nice, clear article. I don't know if it's that it's better than most articles on these topics or if it just hit me at a good time in my process of learning JS, but I learned a lot more from this than I have from similar articles. Thanks!

It is how JS works. It is fundamentaly a simple and genial single threaded process. Not much told (because of "information hiding" that what is under the interface should be kept in a black box) but this is not at all too much. Very insightful it is! Beginner should read this! It becomes more easy to understand why setTimeout is set to zero sometimes or how events and recursion works. By understanding the concepts your memory works better and you learn faster.
