    Arrow functions should be used only for callbacks. I hate that people has started defining named functions with arrow functions in JS. Arrow functions are not hoisted and the ordering of your functions is going to get wonky, because you need to define all you functions first before composing them, when it should be the other way around. Start with the most high-level function which calls lower level functions.

        Like I’m looking up something on stack overflow and half the answers are arrow functions that are that way for no other reason than to use the fun little =>
