Console #12: The Javascript Task Queue and Job Queue - a Deep Dive Into the Javascript Event Loop

In this video we'll be deep diving the task queue in Javascript and the job queue in Javascript and what the differences between the two queues are. We'll also look at the Javascript event loop, the Javascript event loop call stack, and a few Javascript event loop examples. We'll take a look at some Javascript event loop simulators and Javascript event loop animations using Phillip Robert's Loupe tool, in order to get a good understanding as to what is going on under the hood of Javascript.

Note that while this video is mostly vanilla js, its contents are also related to node js, so technically we'll also be looking at the job queue in node js and the node js task queue as well as the node js event loop.

For the differences between the browser Javascript event loop and the node js event loop I highly recommend Erin Zimmer's JSConf talk from 2018:
