This raises the question, is JavaScript more prone to premature optimization?
- noname120 2y agoWell, can we really call it premature optimization if it's needed?
- dpritchett 2y agoReminds me of using Ruby ten years ago and having to contend with folks who wanted to default to using the string literal style over another because it was known to be more performant at scale. That awkward stuff surfaces earlier with some languages than with others.
