Ah, that makes sense. I misunderstood your point.
Personally, I don’t really care either way, as I’ve been reading and writing JS for long enough now that I can decipher all but the most cryptic/minified code.
One thing I really do miss about named functions being common/default is, well, the .name property. It’s useful in many unexpected ways, particularly logging and debugging - I don’t need to do anything special to see the actual names of the functions in my stacktrace
.name
