The event loop is a programming construct in computer science that waits for and dispatches events or messages within a program. It operates by requesting an event from an internal or external provider, then dispatching the event to the relevant handler, often operating asynchronously with the message originator. When it forms the central control flow of a program, it's referred to as the main loop or main event loop.
