          Good answer.

          Even if it made me throw up in my mouth a little. /s

          Edit: Not the concept of Electron, itself - but being asked to write highly performant code in Electron.

          Something has gone horribly wrong if you’re trying to do such optimisations when you’ve already chosen JavaScript…let alone Electron.

              Thankfully the only interaction I have with teams is when a supplier arranges the call. Once every two weeks. It grosses me out every time…and that’s the Web app.

              Do you really think they have done such optimisation efforts as minimising function calls? I can’t imagine it’s required for what is actually a fairly simple frontend app. The complexity is the enabling stack on the backend.

      I was under the impression that modern compilers just inline something like that, and even in older languages (like C) use trickeries are used to inline it (typically MAX is a macro rather than a real function, so its always inlined)

      Ultimatelly it depends not just on what you’re doing but also the language and compiler you’re using.

      If you’re optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it’s absolutely called for. Not that I’ve actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I’ve never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.

      That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they’re already costing the function call anyway…
