Optimizing Javascript for fun and for profit

Since I’m posting links to articles from 2024, this is another one I keep coming back to. There are some interesting benchmarks shared that surprised me, or that I felt weren’t intuitive.

As I’ve been learning more about AI agents, I’ve had some luck pointing them to this article by romgrk and asking them to apply its points. But you’ll always have better luck if you know and understand them as a developer, and tell your agent explicitly how to achieve higher performance.
