Could someone please confirm if these two methods are effectively the same
process.nextTick(callback.bind(undefined, results));
Vs.
process.nextTick(function() {
callback(results));
});
And if they successfully make the callbacks asynchronous from a node js perspective.
They might be the same, yes.
There's one minor difference though: The time at which results is evaluated. When you use bind, it takes the value immediately, when you use the callback the value is determined at the time of the actual call.
Example where they're different:
var results = 1;
process.nextTick(console.log.bind(console, results));
process.nextTick(function() { console.log(results)); });
results = 2;
// will log "1" and "2"
