yeah i guess i fall pretty heavily on the side of legibility before everything else. especially in a high-level language like javascript. most of the time, in most cases, you're just not going to need to exploit the weirdness of the language itself for performance tuning. usually what happens is a hot spot is identified some time down the line when something about the app scales.

and in those cases i would rather a past developer had put their time and energy into making sure their intent is clear before getting clever.
