Thanks!It's a design decision mostly led by my own taste.

Too often, objects create a rigid structure that can be hard to understand, use and modify as time goes by.

By using closures, the scope of each method is reduced and it's more simpler to test and modify each of them separately.

This is fairly old but i just came across your site and feel your libraries will be useful. I just wondered; why avoid objects in favor of closures. I'm kind of fuzzy still on the nature and use of closures, so maybe this answer will help my understanding. Thanks for making your code public

Yeah, javascriptkatadotcom is a bit of an overkill… but it's done now and anyway, I just copy/paste that code at the bottom so…

But thanks for the coment!

Hey, this is great Dan. I had a look at the code and this is some well written javascript. The kind of javasript I am unable to write. Congrats barnak!

I think your default namespace could be jsKata instead of javascriptkatadotcom. The chances that someone already have a namespace called jsKata in his application is almost non existent.

That would save you the pain of writing javascriptkatadotcom everytime in your own library. That's no big deal but I wanted to say something about the code and this is all I could find.
