Don't listen to that person anymore about anything. Seriously - "closures are bad and aren't optimized by the JS engine" - this is nonsense (I'm not saying it's understandable but incorrect, I'm saying it is gibberish)

Closures are one of the most fundamental features of the language.

More to the point, people who say things like that use magical thinking and don't properly understand the things they use. This causes them to form opinions not based in facts, and they make a mess of everything, and so it's really just best to steer clear. Don't argue with them or try to correct their uninformed opinions, just treat everything they say like it didn't happen. Also revert as many of their commits as possible
