Performance matters
I just read this on an email from a Google’s Closure developer: Adding runtime checks for invalid usage is something we have policy against. It adds to the code size as well as to the runtime cost. I totally agree. Developers should be responsible for their usage of APIs or third party libraries, while these [...]
