Great article dude. Well written and easy to understand. You might want to reference at least once the arrow functions real name is a Lambada function. Can't wait to read more
Thanks Peter. I believe you're referencing lambda expressions, which are expressions which return a function. While it's true that Javascript arrow functions are comprised of a syntax which enable shorter definitions of expressions which return functions, very very few people in the Javascript community refer to these as lambda expressions. Doing so promotes confusion for newer developers more than helping them, as searching for 'Javascript lambda functions' just redirects them back to 'arrow functions'. The official standard also calls them arrow functions, so that's what I went with here.
Thanks for the reply. And the spelling correction 😣 I should have used a real keyboard and not my thumbs. That's good to know that they're officially called arrow functions, I will make note of that for myself. Thanks again,
Pete
