Question from http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3350367

For classes, I'm still unclear as to why you might even use the thin arrow, lest you're providing a mixin. Thoughts?

Besides the constructor method, mixins, and for performance reasons, are there other reasons why a thin-arrow would be preferred over a fat-arrow?
