I have thought it may be interesting to receive some comment here too ... so here the short summary:
genericCallback.bind(sameObject) !== genericCallback.bind(sameObject) quite inconvenient for listeners and leading to uncomfortable patterns ( store the bound reference somewhere and get it back later ) plus bind, at the end of a function, where the topic is the context, looks more like a yoda statement "function with context as this object" rather than "object as context of this function" So, the proposal, is a simplified Object.prototype.boundTo ( or eventually, to avoid conflicts with bind signature Object.prototype.asContextOf ) where the action is object, as context, related, and the returned function is one and one only sameObject.boundTo(genericCallback) === sameObject.boundTo(genericCallback) or, if you prefer sameObject.asContextOf(genericCallback) === sameObject.asContextOf( genericCallback) Here the whole post with better examples plus the proposed solution that would be nice to have in JS.Next http://webreflection.blogspot.com/2012/01/improving-functionprototypebind.html Best Regards, Andrea Giammarchi
