Yes, but setTimeout is "more asynchronous" than a microtask. Microtasks are defined by HTML I think? Basically, a microtask is run at the end of the current script stack, just before yielding control to the browser. Using setTimeout shouldn't be incorrect, but it will be slower than intended. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
