It'd be nice to add Function.prototype.partial, which is exactly like `.bind` without the `this`-setting first argument.
Adding it would have benefits: - `.bind(null, ...` is newbie confusing and ugly in functional code[1] - `.bind(null, ...` is a very common idiom[2] - `.partial` is intention revealing: it's clear you're writing functional code that doesn't care about `this` Adding it seems low cost, and is backwards compatible: - implementors could literally make it a proxy to `.bind` if they want to get it done fast - shimmable - not new functionality, just a subset of existing functionality Cheers, Tim @timruffles - [1] I've been teaching newbies Javascript/Node.js for years, and if you take a 'functions first' approach it's complexity you have to tell them to ignore - [2] see github - https://github.com/search?l=javascript&q=%22.bind%28null%22&ref=searchresults&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93
