Does anyone knows how I can get rid of b or c?
I use c to check if we are in the replace method or not.

We can use parseInt(str,36), it's case-insensitive and covers all letters of english alphabet:

function f(a,b,c){return c?"4BCD3F6H1JKLMN0PQR57"[parseInt(a,36)-10]||a:a.replace(/./g,f)}

Since b is 0 (false-y) at the first call of the replace, we can't use it. ~b doesn't help either, because undefined gets coerced, too on this one.k Additionally, we can achieve IE compatibility using only 5bytes more, by replacing "4BCD3F6H1JKLMN0PQR57" with [4,,,,3,,6,,1,,,,,,,,,,5,7].

Update: We can use ++b and save 1 char:

function f(a,b){return++b?"4BCD3F6H1JKLMN0PQR57"[parseInt(a,36)-10]||a:a.replace(/./g,f)}

What about

function f(a,b){return"4BCD3F6H1JKLMN0PQR57"[parseInt(a,36)-10]||a.replace(/[a-t]/gi,f)}
```?

So we don't need banymore:

function f(a){return"4BCD3F6H1JKLMN0PQR57"[parseInt(a,36)-10]||a.replace(/[a-t]/gi,f)}

Down to 86 bytes!

600D C47CH, @aemkei!
It seems that converting a leetspeak character string into latin is more difficult?

@tsaniel: I think it is impossible to translate leet back to latin, because the numbers 436157are used here.
So 140By7.35 would be converted to 1A0BY.TES.

Hey @tsaniel, @atk, and @subzey,
I'm trying to get hsl2rgb down but still have to save 10 bytes.

Can you help me out?
