I’m super not embarrassed to admit that I just learned:
ES6 arrow functions do not have their own `this`. They inherit `this` for free without having to do `.bind` or `self = this`.

what do you mean? it's a function, and it has a scope. i don't understand the distinction you're trying to make.

function foo() { // This kind of scope. }

Wait wait wait, what? IMO the "cut the mustard" test for function scope is var handling. Vars declares inside a block are hoisted outside the block, but the same isn't true of an arrow function. http://jsbin.com/xitijezuse/edit?js …

Those, and `this`, are not special-cased or anything — it’s just that arrow functions don’t create a new function scope.
