I'm not a javascript programmer, but I really like the arrow pattern from a distance exactly because it enforces that idea.

My experience is that newcomers are often thrown off and confused by higher order functions. I think partly because, well let's be honest they just are more confusing than normal functions, but I think it's also because languages often bind functions differently from everything else.

`const cool = () => 5`

Makes it obvious and transparent, that `cool' is just a variable where as:

`function cool() {return 5}`

looks very different from other variable bindings.
