However, I don&amp;#x27;t quite understand why it&amp;#x27;s such a big issue. Whenever I get a stack trace the issue is almost always easy to debug. That has been my experience working with JavaScript full time for two and a half years.&lt;p&gt;And every difficult to debug bug hasn&amp;#x27;t been related to knowing which functions are in the stack, but are instead related to figuring out why frameworks do something or race conditions and so on.&lt;p&gt;I just find it surprising that people are having problems with anonymous functions in stack traces, when I&amp;#x27;ve never seen that.</text><parent_chain><item><author>z3t4</author><text>&amp;quot;Name your functions&amp;quot;: Easier to know what the code does, flattens the &amp;quot;Christmas tree from hell&amp;quot;, no need for ugly closures, + Makes it&amp;#x27;s easier to debug.
