@MarkReed @Esailija I enjoyed this discussion! ActionScript3 (an ECMAScript derivative) offers an interesting example of how we might expect "first-class" methods to behave in a JS-like language. (reference - search "bound method") In AS3, unlike in JS, expressions that reference a method always evaluate to a bound method, so in
addEventListener('e', foo.bar), this is always bound to foo in bar.
