Context is everything. the engine inside (safari, chrome, ff, node.js), the function contents, the function arguments, evironment/scopes around, variables used, etc etc
— Well, it CAN compile to a loop in all cases
— If the engine it happens to run on doesn't, that's not the programmers fault
— I need a solid performance, not relative
— All performance is relative though
— Every engine behaves differently
— You can't optimize for all engines
— When i dont care, i use .forEach, .map, etc. because they look better sometimes
— So optimize for code quality
— But in livescript, loops look fine, so i use loops if not writing plain .js file
— What do they look like?
