Yes and no. It's a new function each time, though the parsing and compilation of it is cached, inside the runtime. If you were to return that function and compare it with another call, though, they'd be different. This probably doesn't have any practical implications though that you could care about. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
