Just FYI, the standardjs link doesn't seem to support your point here. It seems like standardjs is mostly about forbidding confusing syntax and obsolete APIs. (like .__iterator__, which appears to be replaced by Symbol.iterator, or .__proto__ which is replaced by .getPrototypeOf())

The only item which standardjs forbids that I could identify as possibly producing a decent performance improvement if used is the "with" statement. They also forbid wrapping non-objects in objects, which I guess could provide extra-expressiveness, but seems like it would usually just be a performance penalty.

I have seen people recommending obviously inefficient things like including large third-party libraries just to look up an element by class name, but standardjs looks like it is just a set of linting rules. I don't agree with all of them but I don't think there is a set of rules everyone would agree to.
