The JS event loop is kind of funny, because tasks have no priority and no preemption and so they're executed first-in first-out. If you want to avoid blocking other code paths for more than a certain length of time you need to change the order you push tasks in[0] and you need to limit execution time in some way, which can get pretty complex to reason about. [0] by "push tasks" I mean using setTimeout, new Promise(), await, requestAnimationFrame, or similar
