Factories are un-ergonomic

[domenic]

When I think of a factory in JavaScript, I think of a function, not an object with a .get() method. This becomes particularly inconvenient when trying to pass factories around.

For example, when moving to Intravenous, my code went from

function Foo(barFactory) {
    this.doSomething = function () {
        return processSomeBars(barFactory);
    };
}

to

function Foo(barFactory) {
    this.doSomething = function () {
        return processSomeBars(barFactory.get.bind(barFactory));
    };
}

I think the solution would be to just make factories into functions. They can still have .get, .use, .dispose, and the like, but calling the factory as a function should have the same result as calling .get.

That does make sense. Are there any other of these API glitches you're running into?
