Uncaught TypeError: (intermediate value)(…) is not a function

by

The error is a result of the missing semicolon on the third line:

window.Glog = function(msg) {
  console.log(msg);
}; // <--- Add this semicolon

(function(win) {
  // ...
})(window);

The ECMAScript specification has specific rules for automatic semicolon insertion, however in this case a semicolon isn’t automatically inserted because the parenthesised expression that begins on the next line can be interpreted as an argument list for a function call.

This means that without that semicolon, the anonymous window.Glog function was being invoked with a function as the msg parameter, followed by (window) which was subsequently attempting to invoke whatever was returned.

This is how the code was being interpreted:

window.Glog = function(msg) {
  console.log(msg);
}(function(win) {
  // ...
})(window);
