As JavaScript devs, we usually don't have to deal with compilers ourselves. However, it's definitely good to know the basics of the JavaScript engine and see how it handles our human-friendly JS code, and turns it into something machines understand! 🥳 | Note: This post is mainly based on the V8 engine used by Node.js and Chromium-based browsers.
