named arguments are hacking object literals to provide additional readability. it's ok, but not for all code paths, they have a true overhead. problem is that these things start to become idee fixes in teams (all funcs should have named args!). ideally, this could be fixed in the language.

Agree that it would be nice to fix in the language. It seems like something that even a transpiler could take care of.

Ultimately I think I’d bias towards readability vs the marginal perf increase though.
