> Self executing function expressions Terminology nit: I think Ben Alman's right that "self-executing" is confused terminology. I like his proposed term IIFE (pronounced: "iffy"):

But I don't find that argument particularly compelling. Given the addition of `let' and modules, IIFE's shouldn't be nearly as important anymore. (For the record, I'm undecided on the various shorter-function syntaxes. Just not particularly convinced by this argument.)
