I was quoting you, where you said readability takes precedence over technical concerns. That‘s what I‘m challenging.
Every extra function call and object instantiation has a real cost, and abstracting ourselves away from the bare metal means we need to pay the price in terms of performance. Some very nicely readable algorithms are just sub-par in all dimensions except readability. We should optimize for performance and correctness, and readability comes second.
