but they aren't essential and have exact syntactic equivalents assume f is a fat arrow function then f.call(ignored,a,b,c) is the same as f(a,b,c) and f.apply(ignored,args) is the same as f(...args) I think we want fat arrow functions to support call and apply because people will use them out of habit. But I think we (actually the people who write books, etc.) should encourage use of the syntactic forms whenever passing a this value is irrelevant.
