FAQ
What are 'background jobs'?
These are tasks that your computer performs without you needing to actively monitor them, like downloading a file or processing data.
What does 'async execution' mean?
It means a task can start, and while it's running, you can do other things. It doesn't block the rest of the program.
Why is 'TypeScript-first design' important?
It means it was built with a programming language (TypeScript) in mind, which helps prevent common errors and makes development safer and more organized.
