I started my programming journey with C, and now I primarily work with JavaScript, with some experience in Python and Java. Lately, it feels like I'm only scratching the surface, learning about common concepts like loops and functions without getting to the core of how things actually work. I have some burning questions, such as how Node.js can handle thousands of concurrent requests better than Flask or Django, why compiled languages like C perform so much better than interpreted ones like Python, and how asynchronous tasks work behind the scenes. I'm looking for a comprehensive roadmap or resources—like books or guides—that can help me dive deeper into these topics. I'm tired of brief explanations that lack detail or come with hidden prerequisites. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you’re looking for a stronger grasp of fundamentals! A solid understanding of Operating Systems can really help because it clarifies how your programs interact with the computer. I recommend checking out "Operating Systems in Three Easy Pieces." It's free online and gives you a detailed view of how processes work, which can clear up many of your questions.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve learned about strings and pointers, but I'm eager to dive deeper. I appreciate your help!
