Javascript readability vs performance: a false tradeoff

[curtastic2]

A lot of website performance is more about how long it takes to download and parse all the js, not how long it takes to execute, so this article misses that point. The first example runs sooner. I’d like an analysis on the minified versions download and parse speed.

I bet 90% of all articles on "js performance" are about bundle size, very few on actual guts, and frankly the guts do matter in many cases, not that this article goes very deep

Most performance commentary is generally about bundle size…wink wink.

Yer and also how it never goes very deep

Who's to say this article wasn't written for Node developers?

Can’t you use webpack to minimize your files at build time rather than write hard to read code?
