FWIW, ColdFusion allows to call functions with named parameters in an
arbitrary order.[1] This has one benefit: You can simply skip arguments in
the middle instead of having to provide a default value for them the call.
Transferred to JS syntax that would be:
function sayHello(a, b=true, c="people")
{
return b ? a + " " + c : a;
}
foo(a="Hey", c="there!"); // returns "Hey there!"
(Excuse the poor example, but it should be enough to understand the idea
behind it.)
