Coding Style

Simon's suggestion:

• Which syntax for arrow functions?
  • Braces around function body not necessary if the body is a simple one-liner
  • return not necessary if the body is a simple one-liner
  • Always use parentheses around parameters
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/arrow_functions
  • Sebastian: update our docs

  • Shall we use setTimeout or the Mutation Observer?
