Benchmark: higher order function vs simple function perf checkasdasda sdfdfgasdasa sd

Script Preparation code:

var artifacts = {
    getById: () => [Math.random()]
}

  const getDependencies1 = (artifactId) => artifacts.getById(artifactId);

function flatten(artifacts, artifactId) {
  
    return [
        ...getDependencies1(artifactId)
    ]
}

function createFlattenr(artifacts){
    const getDependencies2 = (artifactId) => artifacts.getById(artifactId);
    return (artifactId) => {
        return [
            ...getDependencies2(artifactId)
        ]
    }
}

Tests:

simple function
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { flatten(artifacts, i) }
higher order function
const f = createFlattenr(artifacts) for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) { f(i) }

Let's dive into the world of JavaScript benchmarks.

**Benchmark Definition**

The benchmark is designed to compare the performance of two approaches: a simple function and a higher-order function (also known as a closure). The benchmark tests how quickly each approach can execute a certain number of iterations.

Here's what's being tested:

* `simpleFunction`: A regular function that takes an argument, flattens an array, and returns it.
* `higherOrderFunction` (also referred to as `createFlattenr`): A higher-order function that takes an artifact ID, creates a closure over the `getDependencies1` function, and returns a new function that flattens the array.

**Options Compared**

The two options being compared are:

1. **Simple Function**: A traditional function call with a fixed number of arguments.
2. **Higher-Order Function**: A function that takes an argument, creates a closure over another function, and returns a new function that performs the actual work.

**Pros and Cons of Each Approach**

* **Simple Function**:
	+ Pros: Easy to understand, straightforward code execution.
	+ Cons: May not be as efficient due to function call overhead, potential for caching issues if not optimized correctly.
* **Higher-Order Function**:
	+ Pros: Can potentially lead to more efficient code execution due to function inlining and caching, and can simplify complex logic by abstracting it away from the main logic.
	+ Cons: May introduce additional complexity, harder to understand for beginners, and requires proper optimization to avoid performance issues.

**Library Used**

The `artifacts` library is used to store a simple object with an array property. The `getDependencies1` function uses this artifact to retrieve the array value. This is likely done to demonstrate how to create a closure over a function using the `createFlattenr` function.

**Special JS Feature/Syntax**

There doesn't appear to be any specific JavaScript features or syntax being used in this benchmark. The code is fairly standard JavaScript, with no advanced topics like async/await, promises, or decorators.

**Other Alternatives**

If you'd like to explore alternative approaches for similar benchmarks, here are a few examples:

1. **Benchmarking frameworks**: Use frameworks like Benchmark.js, Fastify, or Microbench to create more comprehensive and accurate benchmarks.
2. **Profiling tools**: Utilize profiling tools like Chrome DevTools' Profile or Node.js Inspector to gain deeper insights into the performance characteristics of your code.
3. **Benchmarking libraries**: Explore specialized benchmarking libraries like js-perf or micro-benchmark for more advanced features and better performance.

Keep in mind that the choice of approach depends on your specific use case, requirements, and desired level of complexity.
