Bonjour à tous,
Bonjour,
`Knowing that every function is an object, I am surprised that the
Object.create() method doesn't really allow cloning function.
I don't follow the logic of this sentence.
In any case, the purpose of Object.create is to create a normal object,
that is an object as commonly understood when it comes to its own
properties (no magic property like array's "length"), without private
state (like Date objects) and that is not callable.
Also, Object.create does not create a clone, but a new object.
<implementation>
If you don't care about |this|, f2 = f.bind(undefined) can be considered
as a way to clone a function.
function f2(){
return f.apply(this, arguments);
}
works too.
f2 = new Proxy(f, {})
is a form of function cloning as well.
Very much like object cloning, function cloning does not have one unique
definition.
Is there a reason not to do that, please?
I would ask the opposite question: is there a reason to do that? Usually
features are added because there is a driving use case which you haven't
provided.
Also, usually, changing the semantics of an existing built-in isn't a
good idea given that it may break existing code relying on it.
Last, if you can implement it yourself, why do you need it to be part of
the language? There are hundreds of convenience functions that could be
added. Why this one more than others?
Thanks,
David
