Question on why to avoid using iron-signals #10

Closed dman777 closed 9 years ago

dman777 commented 9 years ago

In the documentation,

Note: avoid using iron-signals whenever you can use a controller (parent element) to mediate communication instead.

For learning purposes, can you please explain why: 1) Is it strictly for readability or performance? 2) If the reason is performance, can you please give detail on what happens on a lower level and why there is a performance hit?

Thanks!

Not performance, readability. Signal code can be hard to understand.
