Why shall I convert my utility functions into arrow functions?? I really don't see the point.

I think it is way more descriptive to read a line going
"export function buildEntity(){"
Instead of
"export const buildEntity = () => {"

When are you using arrow functions? Do you see any benefits there?

    Who said that you should do that?

    Js/Ts?
    Benefit: no .bind(this) required. Behave as expected.

    But honestly, readability is a function of how much you're used to something. Nothing else.

    Readability arguments are bullshit by design, because the readability gauge is always biased.

    the decorator pattern works slightly better with lambda assignment.

    @lorentz wait, does it mean that you can’t use a js function as a lambda?

    This is literally what i was fucking mad about in the beginning but i found out react is a completely different mindset shift (C++ like) than OOP such as angular

    This is why arrow functions in procedural programming (react) is used while in OOP a function syntax is used

    @Demolishun that’s what I was thinking too. Other languages do it like that too. But js is, as we all know, special.

    i use allow functions whenever the method body is trivial enough to be expressed in one single line without overcomplicating things.
