I believe one of the benefits on having Typed Objects is to have more performant objects and collections of objects, as structs have been since basically ever in C.
In this case, a full-specs polyfill, as the one pointed out in this thread, is a very nice to have but it will inevitably slow down everything in production compared to vanilla JS objects for every not ever-green device/browser unable to optimize these objects/structs. Accordingly, I wonder if there is any plan to make that polyfill able to ignore everything in production and do just the most essential work in order to not slow down already slow browsers in already slow devices (Android 2.3 but also FirefoxOS and ZTE ...) As example, in 2007 I've proposed a "strict version of JavaScript" http://devpro.it/code/157.html Explained here: http://webreflection.blogspot.com/2007/05/javastrict-strict-type-arguments.html And with a single flag to false, all checks were disappearing from production in order to do not slow down things useful for developers only (as a polyfill for StructType would be) but not for browsers unable to optimize those references/objects/statically defined "things" So my question was: is there any plan to be able to mark that polyfill in a way that all checks are ignored and just essentials operations are granted in order to trust the exposed behavior, without slowing down all non compatible browsers with all that logic ? Or better: is there any plan to offer a simplified version for production that does not do everything as full-specs native would do? I hope this is more clear, thanks for any answer.
