Thanks but massively? function() {} vs () => {}?

Also removes return statement for 1 liners. Reduces clutter of anon functions, especially when you're chaining a bunch together

e.g.

ES5

    users.map(function(user) {
      return user.name
    }).filter(function(name) {
      return name.length < 30
    }).sort(function(a, b) {
      return a.length - b.length
    })

vs

ES6

    users
    .map(user => user.name)
    .filter(name => name.length < 30)
    .sort((a, b) => a.length - b.length)

Contrived, but typical example.

More like:

    var _this = this;
    call(function (){
        return _this.value;
    });

versus

    call(() => this.value);

So yeah, much more readable, and less issues with this binding to some other caller or window.

It's more like

    function(){}.bind(this)


 vs

    () => {}

And for a single expression the `{}` are optional and a `return` is implied, which is pretty nice for .map()/.sort(), etc.

Automatically bound `this` is super important. It's very easy to forget one `.bind(this)` (or `that` alias) somewhere, especially when you have several levels of callback nesting.
