yeah, in that case, function(){console.log('blahblah')}() should evaluate as (function(){})(), but I'm not sure why it doesn't, I guess it's JavaScript that's why :D

@peek4y I'd like to know what in javascript am I missing that I'm not able to explain why function(){console.log("blala")}() isn't being invoked while (function(){console.log("blala")})() IIFE does

@gdadsriver TBH, I don't know the exact reason, but what I'm guessing is function(){}() is a declaration syntax, and ofcourse it's a wrong way to declare a function, and !function(){}() is an expression to be evaluated, so it evaluates each and every component of the expression in a proper order, probably that might be the reason? apart from that, honestly I've no explanation to it, sorry. :(
