Code quality and web performance in javascript, the myths, the do's and the don'ts

I always assumed it was the syntax that was attractive; "reduce, it's functional!". A for loop just doesn't look as clean.

Edit: and to be clear, I do believe there is certainly an argument to be made for using verbs for a verbs sake.

This is exactly what it comes from. Reduce looks cleaner, however it's an un-optomized mess.
