I would have used jamie's approach (no need to rewrite it :) )

I'm slow to seeing the tweet, but I'll comment anyway. x > 5 && someFunc()

Man, I could come up with these all day, much fun 😄

This one's pretty useless, though an interesting exercise in getting it to actually work. Relies on you not caring about the return value of someFunc.

var self = function() {
  return self;
}

var first = function(fn) {
  return function() {
    fn();
    return self;
  }
}

var wrap = function(fn) { 
  return function() { return fn }
}

var wrapped = wrap(wrap(wrap(wrap(first(someFunc)))));

var limit = Math.max(x,1);

while(limit--) { wrapped = wrapped(); }

var foo = setTimeout(someFunc, 5); setTimeout(function() { clearTimeout(foo) }, x);

HEY JACK WHAT ABOUT x > 5 && someFunc();
