invoke versus call
- SAME THING
Reactor pattern
- direct contrast to a procedural pattern
- procedural: everything is synchronous
- each line completes before the next executes
- reactor pattern: mostly synchronous
- exception: event handlers
- dispatcher calls event handlers
- type of event-driven programming
- event dispatcher is implicit
- implicit "assembly line"
- raw data comes in, dispatcher has routine(s) that match raw data
- routine process it, leaves processed data
- processed data matches other routines
- normal events are incoming I/O events
- keypresses, mouse clicks, network traffic
- node makes use of synthetic events
- generated by other code
multitasking
- node is "cooperatively multitasked"
- multithreaded code is preemptively multitasked
- sane multithreading involves locking
- temporary exclusive ownership
- mistakes lead to race conditions
- node avoids race conditions while being highly concurrent
- node is fast
