The way you’ve just managed to explain a topic from scratch without making any part of it cryptic is something this space needs!

I'm really loving these short concept videos about things we all know because we have heard it somewhere and everyone understand the bare-bones definition of but rarely the much needed details!
Another banger video.

Fireship clone or not, great job at explaining this subject in a concise manner with real world use-cases and easy to follow reactive visuals. We need more creators like you

0:40 I guess this visualization of current stack execution can confuse some people. You have several functions in queue and in the stack and it looks like node can pick several functions from queue and execute them sequentially at once (at one loop cycle). But the stack is actually just one function from queue.

Just JavaScript being javascript. Mf, someone tell me is it single threaded or not.
