I see what you mean. I always try to favor functional-style JavaScript (creating a big expression composed of several functions, both as arguments or declared somewhere, using recursion instead of keeping state, not using control structures, no variables, etc), hence my suggestion.
Performance wise you are (very probably) right, but I am willing to pay the tradeoff and live the future now, or whenever I can :) Another idea I find fun it’s binding this to an object with my data: ```js function f () { } f.call({a:2, b, c}) ``` > On Jun 18, 2015, at 9:34 PM, Kyle Simpson <get...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> (function (a, b, c) { >> >> }(2)) > > The main disadvantage of that style over the one I'm advocating for is that > it visually separates the variable declaration (`a`) from its value > initialization (`2`).
