We use formatters, I just disagree with our current conventions (nitpicky, I know).
To me it's about readability and declaring everything as
constgoes against that.What benefits does it have? Using
thisin arrow functions is still valid it's just that they will use parent scope to resolve it. You saying it doesn't havethisorargumentsdoesn't convey any benefits (nor real drawbacks) to me. Hence the convention feels useless at best.
