Yes, thanks for the link. At last -- this makes the language quite a bit more usable.

How's it that people is still using (function (foo) {blah blah}) (42)? Inertia?

Note that I *do* understand the construction, having read SICP, but then I'd take Scheme over Javascript any day).

I use it in some JS I've written (see uzbl) to minimize the public API of the JS code:

uzbl.follow = (function () { /* private implementation */ return { /* api object */ }; })();
