You could do something like this with arrow functions, it works for me on Node.

const createTask = ([name, type = 'default']) => {
  const fn = () => { ... }

  Object.defineProperty(fn, 'name', {
    value: name,
    configurable: true,
  })

  return fn
}

MDN is somewhat misleading here:

You cannot change the name of a function, this property is read-only...

To change it, you could use Object.defineProperty() though.
