> However, V8 creates an environment of a single thread for each of JavaScript’s execution context. The rest is kept under its control. Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, but to me this sounds like they're saying the V8 creates one thread per execution context. I've been working with V8 for months now and this doesn't make any sense to me. Can someone clarify whether I simply misunderstood the phrasing?

The phrasing is definitely off. It's saying "V8 creates a single thread for all of JavaScript's execution contexts"

  Where does the garbage collector run?

    I think there are a number of different other threads, it's just the applications call stack that is single threaded.

Maybe it could be rephrased to: >However, V8 uses an environment of a single thread for all of Javascript's execution contexts.
