In JavaScript, does using await inside a loop block the loop?

Question

Take the following loop:

for(var i=0; i<100; ++i){
    let result = await some_slow_async_function();
    do_something_with_result();
}

Answer 1

No Event loop isn't blocked, see example below

function sayHelloAfterSomeTime (ms) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    if (typeof ms !== 'number') return reject('ms must be a number')
    setTimeout(() => { 
      console.log('Hello after '+ ms / 1000 + ' second(s)')
      resolve()  
    }, ms)
  })
}

async function awaitGo (ms) {
   await sayHelloAfterSomeTime(ms).catch(e => console.log(e))
   console.log('after awaiting for saying Hello, i can do another things  ...')
}

function notAwaitGo (ms) {
	sayHelloAfterSomeTime(ms).catch(e => console.log(e))
    console.log('i dont wait for saying Hello ...')
}

awaitGo(1000)
notAwaitGo(1000)
console.log('coucou i am event loop and i am not blocked ...')
