Actually it's not so simple. JavaScript supported lambda expressions long before fat arrow functions came along.

The functions in this article are not anonymous and they are not passed around as data so I'm not certain if they would technically be considered lambda expressions.

I am certain, however, that the functions in this article are colloquially referred to as "arrow" or "fat arrow" functions in the JavaScript community.
