How JavaScript works: an overview of the engine, runtime and call stack (2017)

This is a good post but I feel like the title is misleading. It's specifically talking about the V8 engine in particular, not Javascript in general.

While other Javascript engines may work in similar ways, the article doesn't make that assertion.

Most of what's described here (mainly the call stack) isn't really JS-specific, but can be found in most high-level programming languages. (Are there even language implementations not utilizing a stack for function calls?)

I thought this would be much more specific to JS quirks.

What a fantastic breakdown. More developers really need to understand how the whole stack is interacting especially as we see the proliferation of server side js

JavaScript: Understanding the Weird Parts by Anthony Alicea is also really helpful and similar to this post check it out if you can :)

This post was helpful to me, as well as #4 of the same series: Event loop and the rise of Async programming

I come from a native programming background, and whenever I worked on front-end javascript I always felt I didn't quite grasp what's just behind the code.

These posts were a big help in getting rid of unknown unknowns.

This was actually a series. You can read this on their blog page

I would hope the free plan let’s me get started for free.
