I've your blog bookmarked and I'll be reading it this weekend haha. Thanks for putting it together!

>Callbacks are not asynchronous by nature, but can be used for asynchronous purposes.

Glad you mention this because some people make it since like callbacks are a de-facto asynchronous-based concept. Callbacks are simply anonymous functions or lambdas that you pass to asynchronous functions so you can work with the produced values. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Thanks! Yeah, the callback thing tripped me up when I was learning because so many articles just glossed over the whole thing so I had to dig a little deeper and play around to understand it more.

More accurately -

Callbacks are anonymous functions [or references to named functions] that you pass to asynchronous [or synchronous] functions so you can work with the produced values [or do anything else]
