Cognitive stress has always been a challenge when dealing with new languages, features and APIs. Oftentimes, we find ourselves experimenting with new features, rather than only reading their documentation. Either with a debugger, a REPL environment, or a thousand console.logs, we explore what these tools do. But what if there was something that will further cut the time between writing code and seeing the result? JS Eval is a tool that achieves exactly this by displaying the evaluation results of your program directly where they come from. Join me as we dive into its plethora of features and how they can help you understand the new tools you encounter!

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.
