Javascript: is the arguments array deprecated?
arguments, javascript, option-type, optional-parameters
Solution
`Function.arguments` is deprecated, but it's only deprecated in favor of the vanilla `arguments` object that's available within a function. (e.g. using `x = arguments[i];` instead of `x = theFunc.arguments[i];`)
That's now the preferred (and as you say, extremely useful) method for accessing the ordinal arguments received.
Problem
Most sites say `callee` as a property of `Function.arguments` is deprecated. But some sites go further and say the whole of `Functions.argument` is deprecated E.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20130313045745/http://aptana.com/reference/api/Arguments.html . Why only mention callee if the whole routine is dead in the water? I only just discovered `arguments` and it seems incredibly useful E.g: http://hungred.com/how-to/secret-arguments-array-javascript/
