The term is not merely a recent appropriation. Parametric polymorphism is a concept from functional programming and formal type theory, with application far beyond just JavaScript.
This is a different notion of polymorphism, yes. Suggested reading: http://mrale.ph/blog/2015/01/11/whats-up-with-monomorphism.h...
> just use a closure! Of course, but that means allocating a closure object per method per instance. When people say they want private variables, they mean they want them available in regular prototype-mounted methods.…

People whose opinions of you really matter know that the green boxes don't.
Referencing C10k implies yes. Threads cost.
The "looks more pleasant?" test can be valid only between cljs/Om and the CoffeeScript from which the generated JS was compiled. By presenting Coffee's not-quite-idiomatic JS output as the counterpoint, the otherwise…
Pretty big rush to judgement. Slice off a copy of the arguments if you need them, but pall = -> console.log line for line in arguments; return would have done just fine there. One can be annoyed by `return` in tail…
I have understood “performant” to suggest a soundness of design that causes something to be “fast”. In the context of algorithms, certainly the distinction is blurred, but in other, higher-level contexts, it can be…
