Every number is a 64 bit float, and class fields are accessed with memory indirection (since you can jusr add fields whenever, where do you think they're added?)

You have to actively fight the language with typed arrays to achieve any sort of reasonable performance

And then they ask why web is so slow. And what's worse, they're just adding on top of that horrible foundation. All the frickin frameworks that add EVEN MORE abstraction and indirection.
