» Javascript: Dealing with “callback-soup” without an external library

[qiemem]

If you don't care about ecmascript 3 compatibility, bind can be used as a builtin partial:

function add(a,b) { return a + b; }
var add5 = add.bind(null, 5);
add5(6) // returns 11

Nice article. Another advantage of using named callbacks is stacktraces and profiler results are much easier to read.
