Anything is better than an "Immediately Invoked Function-silly-Expression",
actually. The only reasonable use for that is to create a new scope in the
context of a statement:
void function() {
doSomething()
}()
Block scoping/let makes this pattern completely unecessary. As for the
other arguments, you do not wrap a function expression in parenthesis,
they're already expressions so there's no need for that. At any rate, the
problem here is JavaScript's usage of statements instead of Expressions,
Expressions Everywhere.
e.g.:
var x = function(){ return foo }()
