the biggest difference is that compared to a normal function, an arrow function does not have the following in its context: 1) 'this' keyword 2) arguments 3) 'super' keyword 4) new.target also the 'return' keyword can be omitted when not using curly braces: const sum = (a,b) => a + b; instead of: const sum = (a,b) => { return a + b };

it is more succinct, that's why it is paired with other ES6 feature such as Array methods forEach, map, reduce, etc.
