How and when to use JavaScript arrow functions

Arrow functions, introduced in JavaScript's ES2015 standard, offer a concise syntax compared to standard functions and differ notably in behavior, particularly in their handling of the this binding and the absence of an arguments object. They inherit this from their surrounding context instead of creating their own, making them unsuitable for situations requiring a specific this, such as constructors or generator functions. Arrow functions are ideal for callback functions due to their succinct syntax, especially in array methods like map and filter, and support implicit returns, which allows returning values without a return statement. However, their lack of a prototype property and the inability to use them as constructors limit their use in scenarios where object creation or method binding is necessary. Although they provide cleaner and more readable code, developers need to be mindful of their limitations, particularly when defining object methods or when a function requires explicit access to an arguments object.
