In the world of Javascript, async/await events used to be magical and hard to understand, but not anymore! In this engaging and informative talk, we will dive deep into the concept of the event loop. Designed for both senior and mid-level developers, this session aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the event loop across various environments, including web browsers and Node.js. This will help us understand how Javascript handles async events from the past to the present, so we can continually improve our code.

Next.JS has long been the favored framework for React enthusiasts, but with the recent Next V13 update, things have taken an intriguing turn. The new version has introduced some highly anticipated features that have left developers with mixed feelings. The challenges arise from React's extensive history predating Next.JS, making it difficult to seamlessly integrate new functionalities like the 'Servicer Action' and others. However, Next.JS stands out as one of the first frameworks to tackle the server/client territory within a single code block. This innovative approach is still in its early stages and promises to shape the future of frameworks to come. To delve deeper into this exciting topic, make sure to attend our event.

This talk explores the upcoming major release of Piscina, a JavaScript library for managing worker pools, and its new features. The talk also cover the basics of threads in JavasScript, including worker_threads in Node.js, and share a preview of features currently in development. Whether you're new to threading or an experienced user, this session will provide valuable insights into efficient workload management in JavaScript.

How does an async runtime work? And more importantly, why bother with async at all? Is it worth the trouble and added complexity?

Async is arguably one of Rust's most complex and least understood features. As a wise man once said: "Async Rust is Rust on hard mode".

Eylon Levi will be our guide through this maze. In the process of writing a small async runtime, he'll help you explore and learn the inner workings of the system. This way, you will truly understand how async works, and will be able to use it confidently in your own code when you need to.
