Yeah, I do not understand where the author is coming from. One could easily write a helper function in JavaScript that does the same thing that the author's Clojure "cond" does. There is no need to use an IIFE if one does not want to.

Hmmmm... I wonder how you would avoid the expressions from being evaluated without wrapping then in a function (sorry if it's a lame question, I haven't done any JS in years).

Not that there is anything wrong with lambdas, but it's quite a los of boilerplate for something as simole as a cond.
