Episode notes

A type cast casts a spell on to a type is it you are this. In JavaScript, what is the order of execution of the following tasks? macro, micro and rendering. The only reason I say that is because the trick to put something at the end of the event loop is to put a set timeout with zero milliseconds.

In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott try to stump each other with questions about JavaScript, HTTP status error codes, memory safety, and a bit of web history thrown in.
