— * It's MORE functional, since it can't be bound, closer to a mathematical function
* You don't have to know what declarations mean, that's dependant on context
* Treating functions as value expressions rather than declaration statements is easier to understand since it's closer to how functions actually work in JS
1. it cant be bound because it already, implicitly bound but its called arrow. thats a bad word design. 2. if you have to, look at 1. 3. okay, i treat it as a bound function that cant be faster than normal function🤤
— No, it's not bound, it's contextless
— Yes, it's bound, you can access this
— Nope, you'd be accessing the parent this
— This is called binding

— No
— It's not
— How is it called then?
— Arrowing🤤
— All the worth of arrow functions is short syntax => concept taken from CoffeeScript
