You'll learn to love anonymous functions. And eventually, you'll even learn
to love closures:
(function($) {
// do something
})(jQuery);
I guess cleanliness is relative. It looks pretty clean to me. The goal of
anonymous functions is to be able to pass around chunks of code to be
executed later. How would you propose a "cleaner" syntax look?
