we use () => {} very often in .map(), . filter(), forEach() later.
Like a one-time function that don’t need special name…

Because the function itself does not technically have a name:

function() {
  return new Date();
}

You are using the function keyword to create a function but you are not giving it a name. If you gave it a name it would look like:

function myFunctionsName() {
  return new Date();
};
