Ross, with regards to requestIdleCallback <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgYOBi_39-N6AbjL99qesiDagaSTbpN0R6CrSVK8NE4/edit#heading=h.lobhanl56igp>, I’m happy to be corrected, but I feel like requestIdleCallback is setImmediate with an “best guess” at the idle time provided to the callback.
No, because they have very different behavior in terms of when the callback runs. setImmediate callbacks can run even if there is other stuff the browser wants to do instead; requestIdleCallback callbacks won't run in that situation.
