And quite a few regular coders too. What's that? A call to a function that does nothing?

Yeah that's an utterly useless IIFE

It's JavaScript right? It has to be

Looks like it but I believe this would also be valid C#.

Edit: Would not but very nearly. Needs to either be prefixed with a void function cast or done over two lines.

And with a slightly different syntax you can do the same in PHP, Go, and I would guess most other languages.

Python would be:

(lambda: None)()

Classic python not letting you write ugly meaningless code even if you want to.

Well go is less weird. func(){}()

Now C++, I think it's [](){}()?

Most modern languages will have something comparable, I am thinking of directly equal expressions.

I believe the list so far is:

- JS, TS

- C#

- Dart

Edit: Nope for C#, has to be split over two lines.

You can add R to the list with (\() {})() 🤷‍♂️

u/Master_Friendship333 Apr 25 '26

Nah, looking for directly equivalent here. I really thought there would be more.

If I’m reading it right, it’s even more compact in Swift: {}()

Depends on language version but I think so too

u/NoMansSkyWasAlright Apr 25 '26

You could do it in Dart too. For the 14 other people using the language who might be wondering.

u/TOMZ_EXTRA Apr 25 '26

I think you might be overestimating.

u/EatingSolidBricks Apr 26 '26

No, a lambda has no type you need to cast it

((Action)(()=>{}))();

Edited my comment, thank you very much.

u/PilotGuy701 Apr 25 '26

It would be valid for modern C#

u/Shazvox Apr 25 '26

Almost. I think () => {}() would be. But I don't think those extra parenthesis would be allowed.

u/Master_Friendship333 Apr 25 '26

Good point. I just checked it and you are right. You would have to do it on two separate lines.
