<kaplan> hello eligrey
<eligrey> hey
<kaplan> I have a question
<kaplan> a very dumb one
* eligrey prepares a smart answer
<kaplan> eligrey, In http.createServer(function(req, res){...}) where does the function(req, res) come from
<eligrey> our technicians are on the line
<eligrey> http.createServer is a function that takes a function as an argument
<eligrey> it calls the function you pass to it somewhere, and passes those 2 args to your function
<kaplan> ok
<eligrey> req and res
<eligrey> in javascript functions are first class citizens, so you can pass them around anywhere
<kaplan> ah
<kaplan> so req and res come from somewhere else?
<eligrey> http.createServer calls arguments[1](whatever_req_is, whatever_res_is) somewhere
<kaplan> I see
<eligrey> and it probably has the first argument named 'callback'
<eligrey> so it would be callback(...) instead of arguments[1](...) i'm guessing
<eligrey> http.createServer sounds like something from node.js
<eligrey> node.js is open source so you can look up what exactly that function does
<kaplan> yeah, it is
