Arrow functions probably shouldn’t be used for this, this is not very readable. I think you should have a look at modules, this is what is expected to replace this pattern ;-) From: jo...@jorgechamorro.com Subject: IIAFEs? Date: Sat, 1 Jun 2013

But they're not fully interchangeable, No, they aren’t. for example I can exit a function at any point with a return, but can I exit a block at any point with a break or something? You can give the block a label, say, `foo` and then exit via `break foo`. Also a function returns a value,

Based on my understanding of modules ( so this may well be wrong ) where you want to use the module you would write import someThing from mymodulefile and inside mymodulefile.js, the file that exports the resource you want to use, you would do function someThing(){} export someThing; and
