Sure, if the language you're working in has a lot of optimization for switches, then go with what works best for the language. My post was indeed mostly centered around JS. I know little about C++, so I won't presume to speak on it. If switches are better in C/C++, stick with them.
And even in JavaScript, if the situation is such that a switch is the simplest and most efficient way to achieve what you're looking for, then I'd remain with the structure.
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
