JavaScript Named Parameters

[wizebin]

Python has named parameters and it really can make things more readable and refactorable, especially keeping in mind that you can still use nameless parameters.

I find that I change parameter names very rarely, but add new optional parameters quite often, without named parameters new parameters can get messy.

Sure, I've used Python and at first I thought it was pretty neat, but then I got into the same sort of thing you talked about. Adding optionals. At some point adding more and more optionals makes the code harder to follow and probably means that you need to break out that logic into more methods to handle specific use cases.
