Surya JS Journey

Learn JavaScript through concepts, code, and guided practice.

A focused workspace for concept study, interactive examples, visual explanations, and challenge solving.

Concept Playground

Event Loop

JavaScript runs one call stack at a time, but it can still handle asynchronous work by delegating tasks and later placing callbacks into queues. The event loop decides when queued tasks can run. Microtasks, such as resolved promise callbacks, are processed before the next macrotask like `setTimeout`.

Same code, editable immediately in the browser.

Workspace Flow

1. Edit the snippet

Change the code freely to test ideas and edge cases.

2. Run and inspect

Use the output panel to confirm behavior and catch runtime errors.

3. Reset or continue

Restore the starter or branch into your own experiment.
