So basically if you have an infinite loop in your app's one and only thread, none of the callbacks will happen because they have to run on that one thread?

- dsego 13y agoBasically, yes.

- thedufer 13y agoYep. Similar to how an infinite loop in the browser will freeze up the page - the browser only gets to control to draw by putting a draw function in the event loop, so if you hog the thread, the page can't update.
