Javascript Kata

First of all, de-anonymized functions are called named functions and they look a lot like “regular” functions (in fact, they are).

I wrote about undo before and I pushed it farther. What about an undo/redo system? I extended the v.01 of the undo and I now handle undo and redo in the same object. Annoucing redo in jskata.undo I made a new version of jskata.undo still hosted on GitHub. If you look closer, it is now [...]
