Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Programming

• jacobwilliamroy 6y ago
  Javascript is single threaded. Async is not parallelism. As far as I know, the only way to run javascript in parallel is to use child_process.fork() or cluster on node.js, server-side. I do not know of any browsers which implement such.

    In browsers you can use webworkers to get parallel execution.

      Cool. The author makes no mention of that.
