Actually, you could take the recursion along a bit further and make it a prototype of String, viz:

String.prototype.flip = function () {
  return (this.length === 1) 
    ? this 
    : this.substr(1).flip() + this.substr(0, 1);
};

var original = "lewd i did live - evil did i dwel";
var reversed = original.flip();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Someone'll beat me to a blog post, likely.

It's generally recommended that you should not extend native prototypes.
