I guess what Karl plans to implement is something like Default
Arguements in C++ and PHP.
for example, we have this base method at first:
function baseMethod(arg1, arg2){
alert("This is a base method with arg2 is " + arg2);
}
now, if I invoke it like this:
baseMethod("value of arg1");
it will popup "This is a base method with arg2 is undefined" (in IE).
as for Karl's solution, now i can create another "extend" method:
var extendMethod = baseMethod.specialize({arg2: "default value of
arg2"});
then, invoke
extendMethod("value of arg1");
the popup msg becomes "This is a base method with arg2 is default
value of arg2".
But at least now, i didnot see large valuable thing in it.
maybe i've missed something, please correct me, karl
thanks

Hi Karl,
I checked your site: http://code.google.com/p/jeene/
It is not clear to me what it is you are building.
I do not want to lessen your enthousiasm, but what is the point of the
project?
Don't worry other people have already done that ;-)
Ah good.
I hate being negative when somebody starts with a new initiative.
The point of the project is to build a program specializer (= partial
evaluator). In the case of Jeene, a program specializer takes as input a
general function of several parameters and produces a specialized
function of fewer parameters by fixing the values of some of the
parameters. The point being that the specialized function is often much
more efficient.
The HTML tag was just an example to illustrate the flexibility and
efficiency aspects.
Was that helpful?
Partial. ;-)
Could you give us a more real life example where Jeene could be helpful?
I already told you why your earlier example was little convincing (for me).
Regards,
Erwin Moller
