I wouldn't say nothis is for teaching new developers. I actually wanted the ability to use pure function, to use arrow functions and to also use destructuring. Things I couldn't do with specific 3rd party libraries.
In code that I control 100%, I never write this. So this is never a problem that has to be solved. Well... until a 3rd party library forced me to do so.
Have a look at the code here: github.com/joelnet/bitcoin-all-tim... for an interesting read. It's a functional reactive style and doesn't have many "staples" that most applications have. no this, if, else, switch, var, let, for. Yet without these things, it's still a fully functional program.
