callbacks: function vs. function.bind

Is there a difference between supplying a callback method with and without bind when I don't want to modify arguments? For example, is

async(console.log)

and

async(console.log.bind(console))

technically equivalent or are there cases with different behaviour?

You need to use bind if you want to pass function that need proper context like console.log otherwise you can just pass a function. Try to run log as this:

var log = console.log;
log('x');

You will get exception because log need to called with console as context.
