Benchmark: Fat Arrow - MeasureThat.net

Tests:

No fat arrow
function Obj(a, b) { this.a = a; this.b = b; } ; Obj.prototype.c = function (v) { return this.a + v; }; Obj.prototype.d = function (v) { return this.a + this.b + vv; }; return Obj; var obj = new Obj(1, 2); var e = 1; var e = obj.c(e) + obj.d(e + 1);
With fat arrow and let
function makeObj(_a, _b) { var a = _a; var b = _b; return { c: function (v) { return a + v; }, d: function (v) { return a + b + v; } }; } var obj = makeObj(1, 2); var e = 1; var e = obj.c(e) + obj.d(e + 1);

Let's dive into the explanation of the provided benchmark.

**Benchmark Overview**

The benchmark is designed to test the performance of JavaScript code using two different syntax approaches: the traditional function declaration (without fat arrows) and the fat arrow syntax with `let` variables.

**Script Preparation Code**

In this case, there is no script preparation code provided. This means that the benchmark is testing the execution speed of pre-existing JavaScript code snippets.

**Test Cases**

There are two test cases:

1. **No Fat Arrow**: This test case uses traditional function declarations without fat arrows.
2. **With Fat Arrow and Let**: This test case uses the fat arrow syntax with `let` variables, which is a feature introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6).

**Options Compared**

The benchmark compares the execution speed of two options:

1. Traditional function declarations
2. Fat arrow syntax with `let` variables

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

**Traditional Function Declarations**

Pros:

* Widely supported across older browsers and environments
* May be more readable for some developers due to the explicit declaration of functions

Cons:

* Generally slower than fat arrow syntax in modern JavaScript engines
* Requires more boilerplate code, which can increase overhead

**Fat Arrow Syntax with `let` Variables**

Pros:

* Faster execution speed compared to traditional function declarations
* Allows for concise and readable code
* Reduces the need for explicit `var`, `let`, or `const` declarations

Cons:

* May not be supported in older browsers or environments (although modern engines generally support it)
* Can be less readable for some developers due to the use of implicit function declarations

**Library and Special Features**

There are no libraries mentioned in this benchmark, but it's worth noting that some benchmarks might include third-party libraries or frameworks to test specific features or performance characteristics.

Additionally, neither of these options uses special JavaScript features like `async/await`, `Promises`, or `Generator functions`. If you're interested in testing those, I'd be happy to provide more information!

**Other Alternatives**

If you want to explore alternative approaches for benchmarking JavaScript code performance, here are a few examples:

1. **V8 Benchmark Suite**: This is an official benchmark suite from Google that tests the performance of various JavaScript engines, including V8 (used by Chrome).
2. **SpiderMonkey Benchmarks**: Another official benchmark suite from Mozilla that tests the performance of SpiderMonkey, the JavaScript engine used by Firefox.
3. **JavaScript performance benchmarks on GitHub**: There are many open-source benchmarking projects available on GitHub that test specific JavaScript features or performance characteristics.

Keep in mind that these alternatives might require more expertise and setup compared to MeasureThat.net.
