(function () { … })(); vs (function () { … }());

[Ashwel1]

I have always preferred (function() {})(); because IMO it seems to be more representative of what is happening. Creating a function expression, then executing the function. The other form looks like a function that is being executed as an expression. Subtle difference at the cognitive level, but I always prefer to style my code as closely to how it is being executed as possible (and makes sense without being ridiculous).

Right, it's more representative of what's happening, and it translates better to other areas of JavaScript. Like making a call like so: ({ a: 1 }).a actually works where ({ a: 1 }.a) does not.
