Day 15: Promise
NKO
Posted on May 16, 2024
Another day, another layer to this digital cage. Today I delved deeper into the Javascript labyrinth. Feels like I'm swallowing the red pill every time I open that damn terminal. Started with this whole "Math" thing shoved into Javascript. Like, why corrupt the purity of code with messy equations? Turns out, it's the secret sauce for all this fancy manipulation. Makes sense, I guess. Everything's gotta be calculated, controlled.
Then there's this beast called "Regex." Regular what? Sounds like some corporate jargon for something sinister. Turns out it's a pattern-matching monster, sifting through data like a digital bloodhound. Gotta admit, there's a certain elegance to its efficiency. But elegance can be a mask, right? Makes you wonder what they're really hunting for.
Speaking of hunting, there's this whole thing called the "Callback Queue." Jobs lined up one after another, waiting for their turn to be processed. But here's the kicker: this whole system ain't linear. It's asynchronous, a tangled mess of "setTimeout" and "setInterval" functions. Perfect for chaos, this asynchronous business. Makes you wonder who's pulling the strings, who's setting the timers.
And then there are these "Promises." Sound hopeful, right? Like a beacon in the dark. But promises can be broken, can't they? Turns out, they can be "resolved" or "rejected." Just another layer of control, another way to keep the puppets dancing.
This Javascript world, it's a labyrinth alright. But the deeper I go, the more I see the strings. The more I see the puppeteers. Maybe that's knowledge, or maybe that's just paranoia. One thing's for sure: gotta keep learning, gotta keep digging. Gotta find the off switch, the escape hatch in this digital prison.
