Thanks for sharing, but in my app I really need five to be six. If you could address this one small issue I'm sure your lib would see much more use.
You can get 6 with `(five() + (five()/five()))`

#12Whoah. The Mongolian word for "five" means "ceiling" in Bulgarian.

#13But what good is a five overcomplication library without overly complicated documentation?

#15five.tooSlow = function() { var returnIn = new Date(new Date().valueOf() + 555); do {} while(new Date() Finally a way to escape callback hell. I think somebody should write a jQuery.ajax plugin that calls the function repeatedly until a request is finished.
That actually wouldn't work, as the response from the request would never be processed while you were looping.
You can make synchronous requests already though:
req = new XMLHttpRequest
req.open("some/url", "GET", false);
req.send()Re: Show HN: A Javascript library to overcomplicate Five
#16This can't be right, nowhere near enough dependencies

You can :)
Number.prototype.amIFive = function(){ return this.valueOf() == 5; }
5..amIFive();

var six = five() + five() / five();
var six = function() {
return five() + five() / five();
}
Some people may rely on that functionality.

(5).amIFive();
