That's why I refrain from calling JavaScript a compiled language. Please let's not break the web.

Yes, the fact new Function() doesn't capture scope makes it much better optimized, but both are still bad for security (esp in web) and performance.

Can't wait for native DOM access in WASM.

Let's break the damn web already!
