The event loop coordinates JavaScript’s single call stack with the microtask and macrotask queues. Why Promise.then always runs before setTimeout(0), what counts as a microtask vs macrotask, how rendering fits in, microtask starvation, and the await-in-a-loop trap.

JavaScript coercion isn’t chaos — it’s a small set of rules. To-number/to-string/to-boolean tables, `==` vs `===`, why `[] == ![]` is `true` (walked step by step), the 7 falsy values, when `== null` is the right tool, and `Object.is`.

`this` follows 5 binding rules: default, implicit, explicit, new, and arrow (lexical). The one-sentence summary, the precedence ladder, and every gotcha — losing `this` in callbacks, class methods, forEach, setTimeout, and destructured methods — solved with arrow functions or bind.

Closures are simply lexical scope + first-class functions. A function bundled with a reference to its outer environment that keeps captured variables alive after the outer function returns. With 7 production patterns: private state, factories, memoization, debounce, iterators, once, and the module pattern.

Hoisting in JavaScript is NOT “declarations being moved to the top of the file.” It’s the engine reserving memory before your code runs — and how each declaration type gets initialized differently. var, let, const, function, and class hoisting explained with the temporal dead zone, block scope, and 4 common gotchas.

Every JavaScript bug ultimately traces back to one mental model — the execution context and the call stack. Here’s the picture every JS developer should carry in their head: what an execution context holds, how the call stack pushes and pops, what stack overflow really is, and how async code fits in.
