So all items in the array are launched simultaneuously and ran in parallel instead of sequentially?
They are launched sequentially, but run simultaneously, yes - at least some of them. And they run concurrently but not in parallel - using a single execution context, there is only a single thread, so no parallelism exist.
I see, I was only aware of sleep but that makes sense. Thanks for your insight.
