— Single-threaded
Applications will use system calls to the kernel for specific things. Stuff like yield DISPATCHER_WAIT(pid); which tells the scheduler to not run the program's main thread again, only running the event loop, until the dispatcher gets an IPC message from the specified pid
— There will be messaging between running programs, so you might want to wait for a message sometimes.
— I will also be disabling Node automatic GC via C++
— So GC will only run when there is actual work to do, and it will only run as a scheduler program at a low system pid
— Otherwise there will be random unpredictable delays, impacting events and interactivity
— Damn man, that's too much for my little knowledge lmao
— 😳
— Dani is JS and C++ goddess
— Pfft, no way
— I am a baby when it comes to C++
— Alright
