I should just compile a big list of "pls explain this" for JS. Currently: why is `new` a keyword instead of a function?
-
@sgrif But a fn can do that, eg by invoking `bind`
@josh_cheek Actually `bind` is ES5, too (maybe ES3?). Definitely wasn't always around

@sgrif@josh_cheek `bind` is ES5, but you could polyfill it if you needed to. -
@stevekinney@josh_cheek OK but it requires `apply` and that wasn't added until ES3. My point is that new predates ability to polyfill
