Do you know what an event loop is?

Apr 4, 2021 8 Comments

I've worked in the financial industry as a developer for over 20 years. It seems like majority of the people I've worked with and candidates I've interviewed fall under the 2nd or 3rd category.

To developers in FAANGMULA+, do you know what an event loop is? If so, how did you learn it?
In the backend, I understand it helps in increasing the throughput and scalability (no one thread per request). In the frontend, I'm not sure why there's event loop. Can someone chime in?

Thanks. #engineering #software #swe
