@vaporeon_ A more practical example I ran into occurred when I implemented an HTTP/HTTPS request library. Internally I used a recursive IIFE to automatically redirect response with 3xx status codes

@coriander this just seems reasonable i was hoping your hatred would be funny in some way :(

@vaporeon_ it's a functional programming thing and it only seems to be common in JavaScript

Here is an example:

const fib_20 = (function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n === 0) return 1;
  if (n === 1) return 1;
  return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);
})(20);

@vaporeon_ Immediately-Invoked Function Execution! (some people pronounce it as "iffy", I just say "eye eye eff ee")

It's a function that you declare and execute simultaneously :D

there is something about finding a use case for a recursive IIFE that just fills me with joy

@coriander i would like to know why you hate leaf blowers

@vaporeon_ wait that wasn't a bible that was a pokedex, my bad

@coriander a game needs at least 6 canonical lesbians, else it sucks

@vaporeon_ sorry vaporeon but i just consulted my bible and the 11th commandment says that vaporeons are not allowed to go to bed hungry. so you have to eat, it is a Holy Decree

@vaporeon_ i think forums are better for archiving information than a twitter-ish platform
