Coffeescript — How to create a self-initiating anonymous function?

How to write this in coffeescript?

f = (function(){

})();

Thanks for any tips :)

If you want to "alias" the arguments passed to self-invoking function in CoffeeScript, and let's say this is what you are trying to achieve:

(function ( global, doc ) {
  // your code in local scope goes here
})( window, document );

Then do (window, document) -> won't let you do that. The way to go is with parens then:

(( global, doc ) -> 
  # your code here
)( window, document )
