Kind of like reading the Little Schemer and using Javascript. Which is precisely what Douglas Crockford advocates (http://javascript.crockford.com/little.html http://javascript.crockford.com/little.html - he's got an example of the Y Combinator too). Javascript's arguments.callee will also let you define anonymous recursive functions (though I realize that was not really the point of the post).
