uncurryThis when going from fn => (thisArg, ...args) => apply(fn, thisArg, args); to bind.bind(bind.call); |
| 20:16 | <TabAtkins> | I mean it doesn't surprise me with that level of indirection and temporary object creation |
| 20:27 | <shu> | bound functions have special representation that's cheaper, and also special calling stubs i think |
| 20:32 | <snek> | nodejs's movement to primordials drove a lot of improvements in v8 there |
| 20:32 | <snek> | cuz it uses lots of super ugly .bind hacks |
| 20:32 | <snek> | and reflect.call/construct |
| 20:33 | <littledan> | I think web uses of .bind were also part of what drove improvements |
| 20:34 | <littledan> | there was a weird period of time when microbenchmarks showed you should switch from .bind to arrow functions, and then I guess the two constructs were racing for a time |
