By contrast, terms such as "task" are used much more broadly (e.g. tasks scheduled on a thread pool).
Yes, and a Task (e.g., in Rust; akin to goroutine in Go or Process in Erlang) can be suspended voluntarily. The use of "task" goes way back (multi-tasking).
I think we want a different word, not only to avoid confusion with respect to HTML5, but because JS event loop "runs" or "turns" really are different from those other "tasks" from CS literature and OS/PL research.
