— My first project was a broker in zmq
I think we are returning to the past where we were discussing arrow function and it is not faster as some v8 dev said
— But i always have preferred to look into v8 internals rather than js code itself
— And it's not slower either
— But it CAN become faster
— Because it does less work
— And I prefer arrow functions syntax-wise, so I use them
— Use whatever makes your source nicer
— Its less functional and cant be bound. this nice syntax spanws more problems, because it eats your memory in the brain, so you have to know what let/const/=> etc means. simply, more entities
— * It's MORE functional, since it can't be bound, closer to a mathematical function
* You don't have to know what declarations mean, that's dependant on context
* Treating functions as value expressions rather than declaration statements is easier to understand since it's closer to how functions actually work in JS
— 1. it cant be bound because it already, implicitly bound but its called arrow. thats a bad word design. 2. if you have to, look at 1. 3. okay, i treat it as a bound function that cant be faster than normal function🤤
— No, it's not bound, it's contextless
