>Would you also choose readability and simplicity over correctness? Depends what you mean by "correctness" and how you determine it. In a perfect world the correct way to do something is the same thing as doing it in the most readable and simple way possible. If you are asking if I think you should give up readability and simplicity if the appropriate standard requires it, then yes. You should probably implement and follow the standard even if the standard is shit (looking at you DOM). > Sometimes efficiency is a requirement. Absolutely, which is why I prefaced my opinion with: >"Obviously, the answer to this question will depend on a whole bunch of different factors." If you are writing performance critical code, then simplicity and readability will sometimes (probably) have to take a back seat.
