Experiment #1: Can JavaScript run something like a concurrent thread/process? No.
So, I know it is stated frequently that JavaScript is "a single-threaded" language. But it is non-blocking thanks to Web APIs. However, I was thinking whether it means that we can run something concurrently like in some other languages like Java, Go, or Python. I mean ES6 includes Promises and it was enhanced by async-await. So, is it possible to make use of Promises to run multiple things in the same time? It was fairly a simple experiment. All you need is A function that acts as a Promise (an async function), A method that will be run as a Promise and as a synchronous function, and A "container" function that holds both async function and plain function. With that three method in mind, this is the code that I came up with. function timelapse ( id ) { for ( let i = 1 ; i <= 1 _000_000; i++) { if (i % 500 _000 === 0 ) { console .log( ` ${ new Date ().getTime()} ${id} ` ); } } } async function asyncFunction ( id ) {
