It will need and depend on an event or timer to trigger a code execution.

In client side JavaScript, it can be from `setTimeout()`, `setInterval()`,
`addEventListener()`, or a `Promise`.

In server side JavaScript, it can be from a `Promise`, or from a
module-provided (module-specific) timer and/or event.

PHP's case would be similar to server side JavaScript.

Though for server side scripts, it will require external tool or separate
thread to be notified of an event without blocking the code execution.

Gravity brings me down.
