I had the impression he was trying to avoid callbacks, just using `===`.
But other than a missing `const` on the `for-of`, it looks nice and
efficient -- except that [it doesn't seem like `for-of` on arrays with the
default iterator is much optimized yet][1]. FWIW:

```js
function removeFromArray(array, item) {
    let changed = false;
    let j, i, len, elt;

    for (j = i = 0, len = array.length; i < len; ++i) {
        elt = array[i];
        if (elt === item) {
            changed = true;
        } else {
            array[j++] = elt;
        }
    }

    array.length = j;
    return changed;
}
```

Clunkier but apparently we're optimizing for speed...
