Azat Mardan: You Don't Know Node.js - JSConf Iceland 2016

"Node.js is fast and scalable web-oriented non-blocking I/O built on top of Google Chrome V8 engine. Almost every web developer uses Node or Node-based tools to some extent. However, Node has some really powerful features worth knowing.
This talk dives deep into the core mechanisms of the Node.js platform and some of its most interesting features such as Event Loop, Streams and buffers, Process and global, Event emitters, Clusters, AsyncWrap, Domain and uncaughtException, and C++ addons.

Starting at 3 minutes and 15 seconds, (ruclips.net/video/NLtL-EEclRc/видео.htmlm15s), the speaker (Azat) said that "... (event loop) is borrowed from V8 engine...)". I'd like to point out that event loop is not part of javascript V8 engine. In Node, event loop is provided by a sub-system called libev (software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html), in Browser environments, event loop is provided by browser implementors. V8 only provides a javascript execution runtime, not event loop implementation.

Awesome video. Azat, thank you very very much for all the documentation you provide for free to the community. It's been an invaluable oasis of information for me to learn both Node and JS for the browser. I am truly grateful.

Event loop in Node.js not from V8 but by using libuv under Node.js
