How is asynchronous javascript interpreted and executed in Node.js?

Question

I\'ve been doing a lot of research into the core of Node.js lately, and I have some questions about the inner workings of the Node platform. As I understand it, Node.js work

Answer 1

Basically what you are looking for is V8 Templates. It exposes all your C++ code as JavaScript functions that you can call from within the V8 Virtual Machine. You can associate C++ callbacks when functions are invoked or when specific object properties are accessed (Read Accessors and Interceptors).

I found a very good article which explains all of this - How does NodeJS work?. It also explains how libuv works in conjunction with Node to achieve asynchronicity.

Hope this helps!
