Hi, A couple of people (including myself) have been working on trying to implement a Function.prototype.bind pure-JS implementation as close to the spec as possible. Despite the fact that this is impossible, all implementations relied on the built-in Function.prototype.call (or Function.prototype.apply). Also, Function.prototype.bind is writable and configurable. This leads to the situation that, on my code, when i write f.bind(obj), it is either unreliable or for it to be reliable, i am forced to make at least Function.prototype.bind non-configurable (and non-writable or a getter that returns the same and correct value) (and do the same thing to Function.prototype.call/apply if i'm emulating Function.prototype.bind) or add a bind own property to every function i am susceptible to bind.
A syntax construct allowing reliable binding without having me to go over one of the previous solutions would be welcome I think. The CoffeeScript-inspired arrow_function_syntax strawman [1] seems to have such a syntactic construct (though i'm not really sure i understand it, i'd need more examples). What i wish is a syntax equivalent to Function.prototype.bind (which would take a function and an object as input and generate a bound function as output) David [1] http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:arrow_function_syntax Ps : I sent this message already on August 19th and August 26th, but i haven't seen it popping up on es-discuss, sorry for the spam if it appears several times
