As a veteran JavaScript developer, I have seen the evolution of JavaScript's asynchronous programming landscape. From callbacks to promises and now async/await, JavaScript has come a long way in making it easier to handle asynchronous operations in a clean and readable manner.In this article, we will delve into the world of async/await and explore why it has become a popular choice for handling asynchronous operations in JavaScript. We will cover the basics of async/await, its syntax, and how it differs from traditional promises. Additionally, we will go through several examples of using async...

JavaScript is single threaded, it means there would be only one task running at any point of time. But this would slow down the overall program execution if there is long running task, hence asynchronous task execution is desired in complex cases. To achieve asynchronous task execution, there are a few options introduced in JavaScript.setTimeout/setIntervalEventPromiseAsync/AwaitsetTimeout/setInterval is one of the first mechanisms introduced in JavaScript to simulate asynchronous operations. Since these operations are not executing in sequence, there would be a potential issue on how data/sta...

You may know the execution environment of JavaScript is single threaded. The so called single thread means only one task can be running at any time, if there are many tasks, they need to be in a queue and wait for the previous task to be completed.The advantage of this mode is it's easy to implement and the execution environment is relative simple; the disadvantage is that if one task takes long time, the tasks following it must wait in the queue and this will delay other tasks consequently. The end result is the browser may hang.To solve this issue, JavaScript divides the task execution modes...
