This visualization demonstrates a rate-limiting mechanism that controls how often a function can execute. The code defines a `rateLimit` function that maintains a queue of pending calls, decrements an available-call counter with each invocation, and schedules re-incrementing that counter after a specified interval. When the counter reaches zero, subsequent calls are queued in a FIFO array until slots free up. The implementation relies on plain JavaScript with `setTimeout` for timing and uses a closure to preserve state across calls, showing how to throttle asynchronous operations without external libraries.

setTimeout/setInterval experiment involving slow-downs

This example demonstrates how `setTimeout` and `setInterval` differ in their behavior when a callback runs longer than the specified interval. It shows that `setInterval` can queue overlapping calls, while `setTimeout` waits for the previous execution to finish. The visualization uses a counter and a select menu to switch between the two methods, with a checkbox to artificially slow down the `tick` function via a blocking `while` loop. The code relies on D3.js v4 for DOM selection and event handling, and uses `window.setTimeout` and `window.setInterval` to schedule the counter updates. The counter increments by 0.5 every 500 milliseconds.

Loop

This visualization demonstrates a minimal animation loop utility, where a callback function executes repeatedly with timestamps for each frame. It shows how to manage continuous animation cycles using either `window.requestAnimationFrame` or `setTimeout`-based periodic timeouts, depending on whether a fixed interval is specified. The code defines a reusable `Loop` class with start and stop methods, supporting both animation frame precision and custom timing intervals. It uses the performance timing API to normalize timestamps, ensuring consistent time values across different browser implementations. The example serves as a foundation for building custom animated visualizations with precise control over frame timing.

Infinite Queue

A queue processes tasks across six parallel slots, each rendering a horizontal bar that animates its width, then collapses and fades before removal. The demo appends div elements via d3.select and transitions, scheduling new tasks with setTimeout to sustain activity. A sentinel task that never invokes its callback keeps the queue running indefinitely, using d3.queue’s defer method. The code highlights the queue’s unbounded memory growth as results accumulate, a trade-off of this infinite-lifecycle pattern.

This visualization alternates between two datasets every second, showing how a chart can dynamically transition between different states. The example uses D3.js and its `d3.interval` function to trigger a periodic update, switching a global `flag` variable to choose between `data0` and `data1`. Each tick calls an `update(data)` function, which presumably redraws the visualization with the newly selected data. The code demonstrates a simple, timer-driven approach to cycling through data arrays, making the chart refresh automatically without user interaction.

simple-parallel-control-flow.js

This example demonstrates a minimal asynchronous control-flow pattern using a counter-based callback mechanism. It shows how a JavaScript function can coordinate multiple parallel tasks by decrementing a shared counter, invoking a final callback only when all tasks complete. The `doParallel` function initializes the counter and returns a closure; each call to `next()` reduces the counter, and when it reaches zero, the callback logs `"ok"` to the console. The code uses plain JavaScript with no external libraries, highlighting a simple, dependency-free approach to parallel execution.

This example visualizes the caching behavior of a JavaScript `memoize` function. It shows how repeated calls with the same argument return a cached result, while new arguments trigger a fresh computation and expand the internal cache object. The code implements the memoization pattern manually, using a plain object as a cache and the spread operator to merge new entries. It does not rely on external libraries or rendering APIs; the visualization likely depicts the function’s execution flow and cache state changes, though the specific display mechanism is not defined in the provided source. The data originates from the `memoize.js` file, demonstrating the logic in isolation.

This example demonstrates a timed alert as a simple interaction test, showing how the code uses `setTimeout` to trigger a JavaScript alert after a three-second delay. The accompanying function `window.asdf` is defined but not invoked, leaving its intended behavior unspecified. The visualization relies on plain JavaScript and the browser’s native alert API rather than any external data or rendering library. The code is minimal, acting as a functional probe for event timing and global function scope.

Eloquent JS: Chapter 11

This example visualizes asynchronous programming concepts from Chapter 11 of Eloquent JavaScript using D3 v5. It renders a heading and an SVG canvas that uses d3.forceSimulation to demonstrate how JavaScript handles concurrent tasks. The visualization shows tick intervals with setTimeout, promise resolution ordering, and blocking code execution timing, all represented through animated SVG elements. The code displays timing diagrams showing when setTimeout callbacks and Promise.then handlers execute relative to synchronous code, using D3's force layout to arrange nodes and animated transitions to illustrate event loop behavior over time.
