Too Long; Didn't Read
A simple for loop was way slower than any of the other loops in a CodePen example. This has confirmed my fears that some opinions we, developers, have about our programming languages are biased and unquestioned. In science a theory makes sense only if it is falsifiable - meaning that it can be disproven by finding a single black swan. People are naturally predisposed to being biased and their fundamental world depends on it. An opinion that is wrong might hurt you, the company and users of your product.
