Can you clarify why do you prefer this over an IIFE `(() => {...})()`?

I like it. IIFEs always make me nervous because they look like they beg to be removed if you don't know why they are used. Using an explicit function such as `run` looks much more intentional, and provide a single intuitive place (the documentation of the `run` function) to explain the pattern.
