Ok, I think I'm thinking about process.nextTick as it was in node <0.10,
where, if I'm not mistaken
function f() {
process.nextTick(f)
}
f()
would loop infinitely, whereas an immediate recursive call throws
RangeError.
I tried running that in v0.10 and got RangeError. However,
function f() {
setImmediate(f)
}
f()
puts the function in "background" and makes node process consume 100% CPU.
What happens there?
