Can you make an object 'callable'?

Question

Is it possible to make an object callable by implementing either call or apply on it, or in some other way? E.g.:

var obj = {};
obj         


        

Answer 1

Others have provided the current answer ("no") and some workarounds. As far as first-class support in the future, I suggested this very thing to the es-discuss mailing list. The idea did not get very far that time around, but perhaps some additional interest would help get the idea moving again.
