— Js has not global lock

—

Now, if you want extremely granular concurrency control that is just like what Linux does with preemptive multitasking, then you would pretty much need a more complicated system to control all this, like the hertzfeld-kernel or something with a complex work scheduler

— It has the event loop

— A different approach

— But for you, in high level, it's the same as js

— It does, one thing at a time

— WHAT?

— The event loop doesn't run for sync stuff

— That's completely unrelated

— It does

— But does not executes js concurrently

— Wow
