I was under the impression that modern compilers just inline something like that, and even in older languages (like C) use trickeries are used to inline it (typically MAX is a macro rather than a real function, so its always inlined)
Ultimatelly it depends not just on what you’re doing but also the language and compiler you’re using.
If you’re optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it’s absolutely called for. Not that I’ve actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I’ve never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.
That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they’re already costing the function call anyway…
Not using thief is professional incompetence unless you’re doing something deeply cursed
Like pair programming.

Sometimes you need to minimize function calls in a tight loop, but otherwise yeah
Why would you be using JS in this scenario?
Node.js, electron 🤷♂️
Good answer.
Even if it made me throw up in my mouth a little. /s
Edit: Not the concept of Electron, itself - but being asked to write highly performant code in Electron.

Sometimes, but practically never. Just be a thief.
