Alice’s Adventures in Memoryland or how memory is managed in JavaScript
Eventually the code we write becomes a bunch of 0s and 1s, and one day I went down the rabbit hole trying to understand how exactly that happens. Through JavaScript engine, heap, stack, garbage collection, references, memory addresses and so on. I found this really fascinating, so I want to share it with you in this visualised guide to memory management in JavaScript.
