在函数中，你可以返回函数本身:

function showSomething(a){
   alert(a);
   return arguments.callee;
}

// Alerts: 'a', 'b', 'c'
showSomething('a')('b')('c');

// Or what about this:
(function (a){
   alert(a);
   return arguments.callee;
}​)('a')('b')('c');​​​​

我不知道什么时候它会有用，不管怎样，它很奇怪也很有趣:

var count = function(counter){
   alert(counter);
   if(counter < 10){
      return arguments.callee(counter+1);
   }
   return arguments.callee;
};

count(5)(9); // Will alert 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 9, 10

实际上，Node.js的FAB框架似乎已经实现了这个功能;例如，请参阅本主题。

Javascript中的所有对象都实现为哈希表，因此它们的属性可以通过索引器访问，反之亦然。此外，你可以使用for/in操作符枚举所有属性:

var x = {a: 0};
x["a"]; //returns 0

x["b"] = 1;
x.b; //returns 1

for (p in x) document.write(p+";"); //writes "a;b;"

函数在JavaScript中是第一类公民:

var passFunAndApply = function (fn,x,y,z) { return fn(x,y,z); };

var sum = function(x,y,z) {
  return x+y+z;
};

alert( passFunAndApply(sum,3,4,5) ); // 12

函数式编程技术可以用来编写优雅的javascript。

特别是，函数可以作为参数传递，例如Array.filter()接受回调:

[1, 2, -1].filter(function(element, index, array) { return element > 0 });
// -> [1,2]

你也可以声明一个“private”函数，它只存在于特定函数的作用域中:

function PrintName() {
    var privateFunction = function() { return "Steve"; };
    return privateFunction();
}

您可以动态地重新定义运行时环境的大部分内容，例如修改Array构造函数或定义undefined。并不是说你应该这样做，但它可以是一个强大的功能。

一种稍微不那么危险的形式是向现有对象添加helper方法。例如，你可以让IE6在数组上“原生”支持indexOf。

您可以根据异常的类型捕获异常。引自MDC:

try {
   myroutine(); // may throw three exceptions
} catch (e if e instanceof TypeError) {
   // statements to handle TypeError exceptions
} catch (e if e instanceof RangeError) {
   // statements to handle RangeError exceptions
} catch (e if e instanceof EvalError) {
   // statements to handle EvalError exceptions
} catch (e) {
   // statements to handle any unspecified exceptions
   logMyErrors(e); // pass exception object to error handler
}

注意:条件捕获子句是Netscape(因此也是Mozilla/Firefox)扩展，它不是ECMAScript规范的一部分，因此不能依赖于特定的浏览器。

生成器和迭代器(仅适用于Firefox 2+和Safari)。

function fib() {
  var i = 0, j = 1;
  while (true) {
    yield i;
    var t = i;
    i = j;
    j += t;
  }
}

var g = fib();
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  document.write(g.next() + "<br>\n");
}

The function containing the yield keyword is a generator. When you call it, its formal parameters are bound to actual arguments, but its body isn't actually evaluated. Instead, a generator-iterator is returned. Each call to the generator-iterator's next() method performs another pass through the iterative algorithm. Each step's value is the value specified by the yield keyword. Think of yield as the generator-iterator version of return, indicating the boundary between each iteration of the algorithm. Each time you call next(), the generator code resumes from the statement following the yield. In normal usage, iterator objects are "invisible"; you won't need to operate on them explicitly, but will instead use JavaScript's for...in and for each...in statements to loop naturally over the keys and/or values of objects.

var objectWithIterator = getObjectSomehow();

for (var i in objectWithIterator)
{
  document.write(objectWithIterator[i] + "<br>\n");
}
