ok, but once you start using closures everywhere someone has the bright idea to abstract most of that code into a utility function. before you know it, you're back to bind. function _bind(o, m) { var bound_arguments = Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments, [2]); return function() { var now_arguments = Array.prototype.slice.apply(arguments); var args = bound_arguments.slice().concat(now_arguments); return m.apply(o, args); } }
