👨‍💻 JavaScript Event Loop: A Complete Guide

If you’ve ever been confused why your JavaScript code runs in unexpected order, why setTimeout doesn’t always fire exactly when you want, or how async/await actually works under the hood, you’re not alone.

✅ Call Stack, Web APIs, Callback Queue, and Microtask Queue explained
✅ The difference between setTimeout, Promises, and async/await
✅ Common mistakes that cause blocking or unexpected behavior
✅ Real-world examples and mental models you can actually use
