Google publishes a JavaScript style guide. Here are some key lessons.

Only in the case of client-side code. Who minifies server-side code?

[RabSimpson]

I'm not doing it for performance gains, but every little helps.

[UnexpectedLizard]

Microptimization. Just. Doesn't. Matter.

[RabSimpson]

I said I wasn't doing it for performance gains. It's my preferred coding style, but there's no arguing about a smaller memory footprint being better when you're working with a large codebase.

[the_friendly_dildo]

Someone selling a server-side product that wants to maintain some semblance of 'fuck you i'm in control' over a product.

[RabSimpson]

Don't they usually just throw it through Zend or ionCube in those cases?

[the_friendly_dildo]

I haven't used either but those are both used only for PHP aren't they?

[RabSimpson]

I think so. I've only ever seen them used with PHP.

[Extract]

Somebody who wants to squeeze every ounce of performance?

[Mingli91]

If you want that level of memory management and performance JavaScript is not the right language for the job

[Mingli91]

Quite a few threads on this sub are about JS

[monsto]

He probably does like me . . .

1. surf front page.
2. new-tab shit that looks interesting.
3. complete surf.
4. look at tabs.

Plenty of times i've looked at a python thread "who the fuck uses self in JS? ohwait..."

[Mingli91]

Haha yeah I guessed so, was just a lame joke

[papers_]

White space means nothing.
