`setTimeout` is not part of ECMAScript. You should suggest this to WHATWG instead.
- Oriol From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2016 17:35:50 +0000 Subject: Proposal: Switch position of delay and callback in signature of `setTimeout()` To: [email protected] Everytime I use `setTimeout()`, I wonder why the the arguments are in the wrong order. Usually the callback functions comes last, but in 'setTimeout' it's exactly the other way round. So I propose that the order should be reversed to be consistent with other functions.Instead of `setTimeout(callback, delay[, arg][, ...])` it should be `setTimeout(delay, callback[, arg][, ...])` By checking the type of the first two arguments (which one is the function)backwards compatibility can be achieved. So a polyfill would be something like: ```newSetTimeout = (delay, callback, ...args) => { if (typeof delay === 'function') { setTimeout(delay, callback, ...args) } else { setTimeout(callback, delay, ...args) }}``` What do you think? _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
