Talk Proposal: How to Wait #131

Closed chromakode closed 4 years ago

chromakode commented 4 years ago

Full name and Bio Max Goodhart co-organizes the WaffleJS meetup in San Francisco. He has been writing JavaScript professionally for 10 years.

Talk title and abstract (description) Our story begins with a humble 'await fetch': your script fires off an HTTP request and settles down to nap, trusting that it'll be awoken when response data is available. While your program does nothing, a cascade of activity is now taking place: in your JS runtime, your operating system, and your hardware. What happens while your code is waiting for something to happen? In this talk, we'll peek behind the layers of the event loop, select/epoll nonblocking I/O, and hardware architecture to answer a simple question: what is waiting, and how does a program wait?
