On: Treating JavaScript like a 30 year old language

You can't use arguments.callee when in strict mode. So far the only alternative is to manually encode the class name and argument list:

    if(!(this instanceof MyClass)){
        return new MyClass(a,b,c)
    }

Correct. But, like John Resig, I am gonna miss it...

    "Personally, I’m going to miss arguments.callee,
     I used it in a number of places in my code."
